CATHOLICS COME HOME Click here for the video!
The next time you are in church, take a moment to look around at the empty places. There are Catholics who should be here with us—family members, neighbors, friends—but who have drifted away for one reason or another. It’s time to invite them to come home, not just for Christmas but for always. Our parish is joining all other parishes in the Archdiocese to get the word out through a series of Catholics Come Home TV spots that will be aired in prime time throughout our area. For more information on this initiative, click here.

If you are compliant under the previous guidelines, you have until June 30, 2014 to attend an Awareness Session. If you are new, you must complete before beginning your ministry with children.
