What’s Happening In Our Community?
Before the pandemic, we enjoyed a large number of visitors in our church during mass every week. Our facilities were always full of activities. Some days we heard happy chatter coming from our Atrium, and the next day we smelled delicious food being prepared in our kitchen. We continue to receive enormous blessings through the efforts that are put into our community by you, our amazing parishioners. Please scroll down to the bottom of the page for Volunteer Opportunities in our parish. We are always happy to welcome you and hope for better times ahead when we can welcome you physically.
