For most Catholics, the parish is the single most important part of the Church. This is where the mission of Christ continues. This is where we publicly express our faith, joining with others to give testimony of our communion with God and with each other. The parish is the visible body of Christ.

With this in mind, our website has been prepared to welcome you to our parish family and keep you informed of what is going on in the parish! 

Welcome
