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.
