Welcome to our parish!!!             

We hope you will find in our community the warm embrace of Our Lord,
experiencing the faith, hope and love only He may offer, and is our joy to
share!

This website was designed to help you to become part of our parish.
These pages are intended to give you a vision of how we praise God,
become more and more conformed to His Image, and how we should
place ourselves in service of the needs of the Christian community.

We do this by offering our gifts of
time, talent and treasure, so we may all
love God and neighbor more effectively, always in and through Our Lord
Christ Jesus.

Consider if you are willing to live the
Principle of Three Hours! This
principle offers a practical guide for giving back to God
at least three
hours every wee
k ---
  • giving an hour a week in worship with your fellow sisters and
    brothers in the faith (coming to Mass weekly);
  • giving an hour a week doing acts of charity (such as being a
    Eucharistic minister or lector; helping share our faith with our
    children and adults; participating in fund-raising events; joining a
    group of interest, or advocacy, important to you; or any other effort
    which furthers the presence of Christ in the world, (averaged over
    the year)); and lastly,
  • giving an hour of your paid labor by making a financial
    commitment to support your parish and Church (by giving at least
    the rate of pay your family receives for an hour of work during that
    week to your parish).
These “hours” are meant to inspire you to make a commitment
IN the faith, living as a disciple of the Lord!
By giving your “first-fruits” to God and God’s Church, in time and
resource, offered as a living commitment among all of the other
commitments of our life, this is the only way our parish may be more
effective in meeting the needs of the entire community.

Let it be our prayer, and constant calling, that we may be worthy of the
faith, hope and love, Christ brings into our world and in Whose Name we
live....
