We do not take up a collection during Mass. Rather, we rely on the faith giving of those who attend and on the generosity of those who share our mission to contribute as they are able. 

Stewardship
This is your community! The Parish relies on the laity to make decisions, manage the parish's affairs, and provide financial support. Your active participation is needed as our community transitions and grows.



Altar Society
Help is needed to help set up and take down before Mass on Sunday, and to help launder the linens used at Mass. Please see Brother Neil.
