Greetings!
When we launched the Parish Renewal Initiative, one of the concerns you shared with me is that we don’t have enough community gatherings outside of Mass. You shared with me how much you miss seeing people, talking with them, sharing stories and meals with them... Joyfully, I invite you to join us for our Parish Picnic on Sunday, June 5, 2022!

God Bless,
Fr. Ritche

We had a wonderful year of ministry. Both 3sixty and Edge were back in person this year and it made such a huge difference.
Thank you to all who participated, to all who helped served, and to all who continue to support these wonderful ministries. While 3sixty and Edge will be on a short break, there will be some summer events to look forward to! More details to come.
