The priests, deacons and lay ministers of the parish are interested in visiting parishioners when they are in the hospital. However, hospitals no longer automatically inform parishes when a parishioner is admitted. We will be able to visit only if we know you are in a hospital. It is most helpful to us when you or a family member notifies the parish office.
Trained women and men journey with parishioners who are sick, grieving, home¬bound or hospitalized during times of serious illness or other significant life events, lending spiritual, emotional and physical support as needed.
Holy Communion is brought to those who are sick or unable to go to church on a regular basis. If you or a family member wants to receive communion at home on a regular or temporary basis, please call the parish office.
Please contact the parish office in order to schedule a memorial service for your love one.

Are you looking for ways to grow closer to the Lord? Perhaps you or someone you know is thinking of the priesthood or consecrated life. Hopefully this website will provide you with the information, support and encouragement you need to continue your journey. You will find opportunities to gather with seminarians and other young men and women whose hearts are open to the call of Christ. It is my hope that through the various Events sponsored by the Office of Vocations you will be able to take that next step in responding to the call of Christ. Be sure to check out the Videos section and see that life as a seminarian is not just rewarding, but fun and exciting too.
Our faith honors marriage as a true vocation and sacrament, so we want to be sure to prepare for the marriage before we prepare for the wedding. Interested couples should meet with a priest at least 9 months prior to plan being set. Following the consultations engaged couples are offered a choice of Pre-Cana Conferences, an Engagement Encounter Weekend, or a series of Evening for Engaged with a mentoring couple, to help enrich their marriage preparation.
