Vocations

Our parish is committed to promoting vocations to religious life and priesthood. A committee is being organized to provide leadership and pro-active strategies to accomplish this task.

Prayer Line

The Prayer Line consists of parishioners who are contacted weekly by phone at home to receive and pass on prayer requests made by individuals. Prayer Line members offer up these requests in prayer throughout the week.

Disciples in Mission

Our parish is implementing an evangelizing experience called "Disciples In Mission." Disciples in Mission is one of the results from our long range planning process. A leadership team has been  in formation to lay the groundwork for Disciples in Mission.  Small faith sharing groups are organized for meeting in ways that all may participate easily. Consider joining or leading a group. Let your faith expand into active discipleship.
