Coming Soon - Our Annual State of the Parish Report! As you know every year around this time we mail you a report which provides a look back over the past year, including a letter from Fr. Matt, financial data, and best of all, information on how we as a parish have progressed in our vision to transform lives in Christ. This year we are also sharing how we found opportunities amidst the craziness of the pandemic!

Online Giving is an easy, consistent way to donate to our parish. It eliminates writing checks and the need to use the church envelope system. It permits donors to support the parish without being physically present due to weather, travel, illness, caring for sick children or parents, etc. It is convenient for the donor and very useful to the parish because income is received consistently. If parishioners are unable to join us for mass, the offerings received through Online Giving are very helpful in continuing to support our mission, meeting payroll, and paying our bills. To donate, please sign-in or register on our website here.
