Parish Life

The parish family is a unique family, made up of a community of believers who have the opportunity to worship together, work together, grieve together, learn together, have fun together, and grow into a tight-knit family, one with Christ.


Faith formation is an important part of our parish.  This provides an opportunity to be involved in lifetime learning as disciples.  As we learn more about God, we become closer to him and to each other. Our shared experiences draw us together.  By joining in our parish family, we form a network and a bond that is greater than any other, being part of God's Church and instilled with God.


Our parish has many opportunities for faith formation and supporting our parish and each other that we encourage you to check into and join.

Ways to Grow

Take steps in the right direction

Engage in Daily Prayer

There are many ways to deepen your prayer life.  Engaging in daily prayer consistently makes a big difference, even if just few a few minutes a day to start.  This can be done through common prayers, Novenas, Chaplets, the Rosary, Psalms, and just including God in your life.  Use prayer to give praise to God, give gratitude, offer penance, request help for yourself or others, acknowledge HIs presence, or just talk.

Allow God to talk to you

Take time to sit and allow God to talk to you.  This can be done in many ways.  Reading daily Scripture is an important way - you can learn about who God is through His words and allow Him to speak.  This can be through reading Bible passages or Liturgy of the Hours, keeping yourself open to hear any messages from Him.  There are others ways God speaks to us when we allow ourselves to be quiet and listen, especially during Eucharistic Adoration, and even while admiring nature.

A Lifelong Learner

A big part of being a disciple is being a lifelong learner.  This means to never stop learning; never stop feeding your soul with the things that are going to bring you closer to God, deepen your understanding of Him, and fill you with the knowledge you need to combat the temptations of the world and our culture's misdirection. And being a disciple is also about being social with others, helping others, and lifting them up with God's love.

In giving you shall receive

Challenge yourself to take steps to serve God through serving the parish and the community.  When we give with the right intentions, we receive graces and grow in spiritual maturity, becoming more of the person that God has designed us to be.  We show our gratitude to God by using the gifts He has given us by sharing them with others and helping to create and promote His kingdom.

By engulfing in Scripture, prayer, and community, we are able to stay in the spirit of God .
