The Commissions meets the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. in the Parish Life Center. There is no meeting in July or December. The Pastoral Council meets on the 3rd Thursday along with the councils of St. Lawrence and Immaculate Conception, the meeting place rotates. Parishioners are invited to attend at any time. If you wish to discuss a matter with the Council, please contact the Church Administrative Secretary two weeks prior to the meeting you wish to attend so that you will be placed on the agenda.

Currently, we are looking for two parishioners who are willing to serve on the Parish Council please let us know if you feel called to do this!

We are a community of Catholic Christians striving to grow in our unity with God and with one another.  We want to know and support each other. In our parish family you will find many different ways that we work together to improve our parish and our community. We hope that you will join us in whatever way your talents and interests can strengthen our parish family. Our parish is all of us, young and old, religious and laity. The Lord has brought us all together to strengthen His kingdom in this place, and we know that He is here in the midst of us.  We are all here to serve and your suggestions for the betterment of our parish are always welcomed!
