Participation Month

“For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ - and individually parts of one another.” --Rom 12:4-5

Our Church is much more than a mere building, it’s a communion of life and love in Jesus rooted in our weekly Sunday Eucharist. As partakers in our Eucharistic Lord, we are to share Jesus with one another through service, outreach, accompaniment, and fellowship. Each weekend in September, several ministries will be stationed in the Gathering Area after Mass to welcome you and invite you to participate! We are blessed to have many vibrant ministries and there certainly is “something for everyone.”
