As part of our Catholic way of life, we would like to encourage our parishioners both old and new to get involved with activities in or around the Church. By donating even a small amount of your time, you can help make a big difference within our community.
There are many ways to be involved in parish activities. You can offer however much time that you have available. Any and all contributions are welcome. Some suggestions are offered below. (Please feel free to offer your own ideas). For more information about ways to help please contact the Parish Office:
