Parish Missions
About us: Annually, we invite Catholic facilitators to present relevant faith teachings at our church. We invite the parish family and our brothers and sisters throughout the diocese to come together to gain greater insight into a faith-filled life.
Generally, this event spans three consecutive nights, lasting approximately 90 minutes each night. It is a time of grace and renewal through presentations that include stories, examples, and deeper faith issues. It is also a valuable outreach beyond the weekly or daily Mass attendance. All are welcome to attend. Check the weekly bulletin and website for current information.

Pilgrimages
Designed to expand our faith experience, this program is an outreach of the parish to provide opportunities to visit holy sites as a faith community by way of day trips or longer pilgrimages to places such as the Holy Land and Rome. Through travel, we introduce participants to various devotions, Sacred Scripture, and faith history. These pilgrimages also serve as a catechesis for the faith and the lives of the saints.
All are welcome to join us. Check the weekly bulletin and website for current information.
