This is a place to come and learn about Jesus – who he is and how much he loves you.

Welcome!

 

We hope you enjoy exploring some of what we believe and how we live.

This is a place to come and learn about Jesus – who he is and how much he loves you. If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, you are invited to explore its teachings, traditions, and history. The Catholic faith has shaped the world as we know it in so many ways, and over an extended period of time.

We especially invite you to learn about our parishes – they are hope-filled and supportive communities where we pray, learn and share our lives with one another. It’s in these communities, together with others, that we learn the most about various forms of prayer and ways of praying. It’s also with the Parish community that we celebrate the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist each Sunday.

When we learn more about our faith and who we are called to be in God’s image we are being formed – this is a lifelong journey that we cherish.
