Community Life

The vibrant life of our community centers around our spiritual base – our Parish.

Worshipping and working together we answer Jesus’ invitation to “love our neighbor as ourself”. Matthew 19

The human needs of our parish and neighborhood communities challenge and allow us to share our Catholic values, life experiences and gifts with others – either from our homes or out in the community. Ministries and events that support our individual needs change. As your faith grows there are new ways to engage and get involved. Our community continues to be transformed through Christ and each other. Opportunities to connect your gifts are available here, Put Your Faith Into Action. For information contact us.
