Our ministries provide the opportunity for more participation from parishioners in serving the Lord by serving His people. Many people are not aware of the number of ministries here who are quietly at work in the background. There are many things a person can become involved with in the parish, and many of them don't require a lot of time.

Please consider the gift that God gave you and join one of these groups. Get involved!

"As each has received a gift, employ it for one another,

as good stewards of God's varied grace."

(1Peter 4:10)
