Ministries

Our parish embodies the call to "be God's Hands" here on earth. Through utilizing the gifts that God has given us to further the continuation of various ministries in the church. Below, is a brief overview of these.
Why not consider being God's Hands through the ministries listed below and enhancing the ministry of God's kingdom in this small corner of his vast vineyard.
