welcome from Father Gary

Our parishes are eager to welcome you to join with us in our mission to bring others to be embraced by the love of Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church.

Our goal is to create a place where all are welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live out our Christian faith. Our doors are open wide so that all may enter. These same doors lead out into the world to share that Good News with others!
