First Responders Mass ~

We will honor and give thanks to all our first responders. The Mass is to recognize the men and women in unform that risk their lives every day for us to service and protect the people of our community. First Responders are encouraged to wear their uniforms and sit in the special section for them in front of the Church. Our first responders are invited to the Parish Center for some light refreshments immediately following the Mass.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a year-long program that prepares people to receive all or some of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Communion) at the Easter Vigil. The program offers a comprehensive study of the beliefs of the Catholic Church in a friendly and approachable setting. Even if you have received these sacraments, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our Faith.
All of our RCIA classes are also open to anyone in the
parish who has received all of their sacraments but
would like to learn more about the faith or just refresh
their knowledge of our faith.
