Our parish has set some pretty ambitious goals for this 100 year celebration and we look forward to showing them all to you.
Come and see the newly refreshed kitchen; enjoy a custom beverage while watching all the littles race about getting their faces painted and pictures taken. Dance with your favourite people to live music; catch up with friends; enjoy a meal prepared with love for you by our Knights of Columbus. Meet our parish staff, volunteers, ministries, teachers and explore our school. Have a bit of fun bidding on high value items donated to our parish or with the annual 50/50.
There is SO much here to share with the community, so plan ahead and mark your calendars!
Please RSVP so we can prepare enough food and refreshments for everyone.
Fall Alpha starts on Wednesday, September 23rd at 6:30pm and Thursday, September 24th at 9:00am. Please join us for this 10 week course, enjoy meaningful, deep conversations about faith and life in small groups accompanied by delicious meals.
Please Note that Mass on Friday, September 4th is at 8:00am.
Our Fall Schedule is otherwise now in effect.
Our parish relies on your generosity. Your donations each year directly impact our ability to minister to those in need, to provide special programs such as Alpha, Rescue and CGS, to offer small group faith studies, to maintain our buildings, and to grow our parish school.
