Organizations

Our Parish Mission Statement defines us in part as a Catholic community called to worship God, provide spiritual growth for our parish and aid and serve those in spiritual or material need.  All of the following organizations address one or more of these actions. We invite each member of the parish to share their talents where they can, thereby serving others as Jesus has taught us.

If you can not find the organization or ministry you are looking for, check the Ministry page.
