Join us as we celebrate Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist. Everyone was surprised by John’s actions even before God spoke from the heavens. By this action, Jesus teaches us the nature of baptism.

The Parish Office will be closed on Friday, December 30 and Monday, January 2, 2023 for the New Year's Holiday. If you need to stop by the parish office, make sure to do so beforehand.

As we move to the New Parish Engagement System, we are asking all Families to update their family information.

With colder weather approaching, we may see some slippery conditions this winter. Our greatest concern is the safety of our community and staff. We will post any closures on our website. Please continue to check here for updates.

The making of a decision is not a one-time action by someone in authority. It is a process of dialogue, discernment, and decision about a particular course of action. In consultation with several architects, the parish staff has identified eight possible locations and identified the three sites which we believed best met them. We'd love to have input from our community and you can participate through the following links.
