Welcome to our faith community!
Throughout the years, this amazing parish has experienced exceptional growth. I encourage you to explore our campus and visit our Adoration Chapel, peaceful grotto, excellent school, and our Thrift Store. The beauty of our Catholic faith is depicted in various ways when entering our magnificent church, with its story-telling stained glass windows and artwork.
