News & Announcements

Thank you for being part of OUR parish family

Gathering as a church community is crucial for our spiritual growth, mutual support, and fulfilling our Catholic mission. It provides a space for communal worship, prayer and fellowship. Each time we gather we strengthen our individual faith in conversation, through encouragement, and living out beliefs together. Places like Altar Rosary events, Donut Sunday, Bingo, Paint-n-Sip, New Year’s Eve, really encourage us to build a spiritual family and serve as a public witness to God's love. Let’s make it a resolution to gather as a church family whenever possible in 2026 to grow the kingdom of God!!!
