Faith formation is a vital element of the Catholic life as we grow in knowledge and understanding of our faith in Jesus Christ and the Church he gave us. A deeper understanding can lead to a more intimate relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and through the Trinity to the Church and our family, friends, neighbors, parish, and community. Such faith formation is not just for children, but for all of us as we grow as Catholics. Our parish has many opportunities for faith formation that we encourage you to explore.
Another way to participate in our parish life are the various parish ministries, including liturgical ministries, such as choir member, lector, altar server, and Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist; social justice ministries, such as visiting the homebound, serving the poor, volunteering at food pantries and the St. Vincent de Paul Society; and others. God calls us to use our gifts and talents to glorify Him and make life better for other people. Please read the descriptions associated with Liturgical and Parish Ministries and prayerfully consider participation. The parish is open to the creation of new ministries as the needs and desires of the parish change. If you have an idea for a new parish ministry, please contact any member of the Parish Council or the church office.
With so many ways to be part of parish life, you'll want to stay informed by regularly reading the weekly bulletin, just in case you've misplaced the one you received at Mass. You’ll also want to check the parish calendar for a list of events and mass schedules.
Our parish has a rich history in our city. Who we are today is based on who we were yesterday. Find out more about our spiritual forefathers as you read the history of our parish here.
We hope you'll also enjoy viewing photos of our parish that will be added in the weeks and months to follow, including some of the many enjoyable events and programs we've had over the years.
