    • Welcome to Our Parish

      The spirit of Mary, the Mother of God, guides our Parish and all of our endeavors as we attempt to follow her example of selflessness in giving the world her only son, Jesus, our Savior and Lord.

      We invite you to join our faith community.

After the 8:30 am mass, we will point you to Kiernan Hall where you can meet other parishioners and enjoy a cup of coffee and fellowship. Once a month, we have a "Newcomer Breakfast" so that you can meet other parishioners. Welcome Home!
