Sent forth by Christ, we strive to share Him with others in our daily lives and to spread His message of salvation to all.

We welcome all people seeking communion with us. we respond to Christ’s command to teach all people through instruction in the Catholic Faith in our religious education program and Catholic School. With Christ as our cornerstone, we attempt to minister to the body, mind, and spirit of our fellow human beings. We pray for God’s help and guidance, and that we may love each other as brothers and sisters in the Lord building up the Kingdom of God.

Mass: What to Expect

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. 

During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith. 

In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
