The Church Needs Your Help!
Each of the following parish committees is critical for helping to meet the spiritual, social and financial needs of our parish. We would love to have more participation from parishioners on these committees. Please speak with any member of the committees listed below to find out more about the committee’s purpose and/or to express an interest in getting involved.
Apologies in advance if any names are inadvertently excluded or included on the list below.
