In fact, that is an integral part of our mission statement: "We find Christ here. We bring Christ to the world." We do this in many ways through the liturgy, the sacraments, our ministries, and through each individual parishioner. We want to continue spreading the word of Christ and supporting all of our ministries, and it is with all this in mind that our parish is working on an Increased Offertory Program to strengthen our financial health and ministries.
