We are a boldly Catholic and vibrant parish family, loving our Lord Jesus Christ, fed by His Word and Sacrament, and willfully serving Him in and through the culture of today. We are a community dedicated to the teachings of Jesus Christ as passed down through the Apostles and the sacred Traditions of the Catholic Faith. We are truly dedicated to the mission of the Church to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). So by all means, “Come and see (Jn. 1:39). Please encounter our web site in all of its facets, and find out more about us. If, after meeting our Lord in our web-pages, you find yourself hungering for more, this means that our Lord is calling you to experience the beauty of our Catholic life and worship. If you feel the Lord is moving you to belong to this community of thankful disciples, please contact us at our email address. We will surely respond to the best of our ability. In the meantime, may God bless you abundantly and give you Peace through His Son Jesus Christ.

The Giving of Alms
The giving of alms is one way to share God’s gifts not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents. St. John Chrysostom reminds us: “Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.” (CCC 2446)
