Growing as a Believer
There is a deep hunger right now in our world for hope. We believe our hope is found in Jesus Christ. We long to know Him & to have a deeper relationship with Him, his Father, and the Holy Spirit.
If you are in a stage in your life where you want to grow your relationship with Jesus, or learn more about the Catholic faith, then we invite you to participate in our GROWING AS A BELIEVER experiences throughout the year. You will be able to spot them in our communications by the blue stamp, so be sure to bookmark this page or follow along on our app or on social media platforms to see where you will grow in faith.
Holy Week begins April 13
Pilgrims: On the Pathway to the Cross
Holy Week is a sacred time that invites us not just to observe, but to immerse ourselves in the profound mysteries of our faith. We are presented with a unique opportunity to partake in the Last Supper, bear witness to Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and ultimately rejoice in His glorious resurrection. It’s a week where some of the most touching moments of Scripture and music combine to help us walk with Jesus and his disciples through his death and resurrection. These pivotal moments in our Christian journey serve as poignant reminders of the boundless love and sacrifice of Jesus that define our faith.
The very essence of Holy Week encapsulates a message so profound and transformative that it has the power to fill our hearts with joy, liberate our spirits, and catalyze a profound transmutation within our lives. Come deepen your connection with Christ. Join us for Holy Week and Easter. See our Holy Week Schedule here.

O.C.I.A.
Formally speaking, OCIA is the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly known as RCIA). It is the process by which new members are brought or otherwise fully initiated into the life of the Church. It is a program of prayer, conversion, learning, and faith sharing. In addition to OCIA sessions, participants will be encouraged to engage in the various faith and service opportunities and the very life of the Parish.
If you are discerning becoming a Catholic, we invite you to read more here. Note, our next OCIA co-hort begins May 5.
