On behalf of Father Bob, Fr. Bud and the Welcoming Ministry, we extend a warm welcome to visitors, new members, and those thinking of joining our parish. We encourage you to fill out a registration form, print it and mail or bring it to the church office. You can also pick up a copy of the form at the church office. We are a very large parish (almost 10,000 members) and we’d like you to feel connected and aware of the various spiritual and social ministries we have to offer. Everyone’s spiritual and social needs vary; there are multiple resources available, whether it be for children, teens, or adults, married or single.

• If you seek spiritual growth, we have Catholic Scripture Study, Eucharistic Adoration, RCIA, Faith Formation for grades K through 8, children's liturgy, and Catholic Men’s Fellowship.
