Why Catholic?...This fall, all parishioners will be participating in a program designed to strengthen our relationship with Jesus Christ as well as give us a deeper understanding of our Catholic faith.

 

This nationwide program, called “Why Catholic?” will have parishes in 34 dioceses in the United States participating. The program is designed to teach us about the richness of our Catholic faith, to show each parishioner how to spread the Good News of Jesus, how to live our faith with enthusiasm and invite others to learn about the Good News of Jesus and the good news of our Catholic faith. Keep watching for more info.

 

WELCOME, NEWCOMERS! We welcome newcomers to our parish and we encourage those who are new in the parish to register as parishioners.  Newcomers with children are encouraged to register their children in the Parish School of Religion in August.  New parishioner registration forms can be found on the bulletin board in the vestibule or may be picked up at the Parish Rectory.  If you are a new parishioner and would like to receive church donation envelopes, please contact Karla or Fr.
