Watch our activities around the parish and pick and choose your areas of involvement and interest. May all of you come to call this place your home away from home and find a milieu of familiarity here. May the list of parishioners help you with name recognition.
Thank you for your contribution to our faith community. May you gain from the strength of others and may you share your own strengths for others.

Stewardship

Each year we take time to look at how we have used these gifts and how we will use them to foster God's work in the coming year. Parishioners are asked to make a commitment of his/her time, talent, and treasure in service to others and the parish.
