Parish Life
"Would you enjoy faith opportunities to learn more about the deeper meaning behind the “rules of religion.” The next generation of church leaders is learning in our schools today and it is commitment to provide students with ways to understand. Catholicism 101 classes, retreats, bible studies, and prayer groups are some of the many ways students may nurture their faith in Christ."
Blessed is She Women's Group
The ministry for all women of the parish to grow together through pray and fellowship. We meet for small group studies, rosary home dinners for the whole family, liturgical season prayer journal groups, book club, and also serve the women of this parish through mother’s blessings and meals for new mothers.

Cursillo
The Cursillo is a Lay Catholic movement that takes its name from Cursillos in Cristiandad, Spanish for “short courses in Christianity.” The Cursillo is an opportunity to examine and celebrate yourself, your relationship with Christ, and your relationship with the Christian community. The joy of knowing Christ is such that it produces the desire to introduce others to Christ. This is the perfect opportunity to refresh one’s soul!

Estos cursos/estudio Bíblico son para aquellos que quieran una vida en el espíritu, orar evangelizando y evangelizar con los sacramentos. Para comprender las profundas verdades que nos enseña la Biblia y el Catecismo Católico, solo necesitamos apertura de corazón. El propósito de los curos es: evangelizar a los laicos para evangelizar con los laicos.
No es un estudio difícil, reservado a los más intelectuales, sino fácil y accesible a todos, hasta para los que no saben leer.
