During this Jubilee Year, we will host a monthly gathering for our new parishioners in the parish hall where you can meet Father Joe, a staff member, and a member of our parish lay leadership in an informal gathering to chat about our life, the vision for our parish, and your place among us.

Please join us in the parish hall on Monday, February 12, 2018 from 7:00-8:00 p.m.

Are you discerning a vocation to the priesthood or simply looking for some help with hearing the Lord's call for your life? The first of the apostles that Jesus called was Saint Andrew, brother of Simon Peter.

Each of these evenings will take place on Fridays from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at different locations around our state and for different age groups. If interested, please contact Father Joe, who would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have.
