important part of what makes this Church and community special
is the many ministries we have within the Church - our way
to tend to the ones who need us, but also a way to
celebrate our Catholic faith.
Since it is mostly parishioners who get involved
with those within not only our church community but in the
community at-large, this is a great way to get involved!
