First Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation brings us all back to a loving relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit transforms and heals us through contrition, confession and penance.

Volunteering for Faith Formation Ministry
Faith Formation is a rewarding ministry for taking the love of your faith and sharing it with others. In order to support our children, help is needed in many capacities — from being an office aid, helping with special projects, or being a catechist (discussion leader / teacher) or aide. As much or as little time as you can give will go a long way!
