Welcome!

Whatever brought you here on your journey in life, we are glad you are here! This Welcoming Webpage is offered as a “virtual sign-post” to provide you helpful information for your faith journey. We invite you to take a minute to explore, including the various links to specific programs offered.

Are you enjoying the book “Rediscover Catholicism” a spiritual guide to living with Passion & Purpose, by Matthew Kelly?  Books change our lives, because we become the books we read. And this book is dedicated to inspiring Catholics and invigorating the Church.  It has been a powerful first step for hundreds of thousands of people...And our dream is that every Catholic in America will read it in the next ten years. 


Everyone is invited to our Welcoming Reception – Held Monthly on Fellowship Sunday– We invite everyone to join us for coffee & donuts after the Mass on Fellowship Sunday, usually the first Sunday of each month. Visitors and new parishioners are particularly invited to join us for the Welcoming Reception, which will include a brief orientation, a campus tour, and a chance to meet some new friends and get basic questions answered. Please check-in at the Welcoming Table in the Fellowship Hall by 12:30pm.
