Follow us on social media (Instagram and Facebook) for updates on events, community activities, faith inspiration, and more. Whether you're new or a longtime member, there's something for everyone. Discover how we live our faith every day.

Parish Safety Reminder

We want to make you aware that individuals have recently been seen in our parking lot asking for money. While we are called to be generous, we also want to keep our community safe. If you encounter someone soliciting help, please do not engage directly—especially with cash or transportation. Instead, notify a member of the clergy, and they will handle the situation appropriately. Thank you for your vigilance and care.

Summer Travel Selfie Challenge!

As you head out on your summer adventures, don’t forget to pack your faith along with your sunscreen! Whether you’re in the mountains, at the beach, or exploring a new city, we’d love to see you and /or your family at Mass wherever your travels take you.

Snap a quick selfie at the church you visit—inside or out—and share it with us! We’ll be posting a display of our parish family attending Mass around the globe on social media. It’s a beautiful way to stay connected and to remind ourselves (and others!) that there’s no vacation from Mass.
