What’s Happening In Our Community?
Every week, we are humbled by the large number of visitors in our church during mass. In addition, we receive enormous blessings through the efforts that are put into our community by you, our amazing parishioners. Our facilities are always full of activities. Some days we hear happy chatter coming from our Atrium, and the next day we smell delicious food being prepared in our kitchen. We are always happy to welcome you!
