purposeTo inspire lifelong Disciples who pray, serve and belong.
Mission stateMentWe are a Catholic faith community.
Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel and build up God’s Kingdom.
We proclaim the Gospel...--when we welcome all in a spirit of Christian hospitality.--when we celebrate God’s presence in worship, prayer and community.--when we live as a sacramental community which embodies God’s presence.
We build up God’s Kingdom...--when we offer opportunities for spiritual growth and faith formation.--when we commit ourselves to serving others and working for social justice.--when we act as good stewards of our time, talents, and financial resources.

teMporarY LiturGY CHanGesFr. Nick and I have decided to implement some
temporary changes that the Archbishop hasasked of us due to the flu epidemic this season.From now until Holy Thursday, we will NOT be
distributing the Precious Blood to the assembly,so as to minimize any potential health risks. Wewill be making a few other changes, as well, such
as excluding the Sign of Peace, the introduc-tions at the beginning of Mass, and hand-holdingduring the Lord's Prayer. As sad as this may be,the Archbishop was pretty clear about makingsure that everyone's health is a top priority.
Thank you, everyone, for your understanding--this too shall pass! ~Clare
