Know Christ
Fall in Love with Christ
The Father’s plan is to invite humanity, you and me, to love one another, self-sacrifice for each other and the world around us through his son Jesus.
Catherine of Siena speaks of 4 types of love.
Adult Confirmation
Because the Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation and is the way God pours out his strength and wisdom to us, you are encouraged to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church prior to receiving other Sacraments (i.e. marriage) or being a Godparent.
Are you an active adult Catholic who has not yet been confirmed?
We will meet bi-weekly on Zoom starting January 21, 2021.
Before our first zoom session please watch The Search. First register for Formed Now at the top of the page then begin watching the wonderful videos. We will discuss them on January 21, 2021.

Discover the Prophets' Messages for You
It is nearly impossible to understand the work and message of Jesus without the prophetic books. In The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy study, presenter Thomas Smith examines who the prophets were, their role during their time, and the meaning of their messages for our own time. In this 10-session program, discover how God is constantly calling you to a deeper relationship, as well as the ways you are called to be the voice of God to others.
Small Groups
Over the past few months we have become increasingly aware of our need to stay in relationships with each other. Our inability to draw close to family and friends or even our neighbors during this time of COVID 19, invites us to find a way to deepen connections.
We invite you to join us this fall for the adventure of a life time THE SEARCH!
Using the OLL small group platform and the launch of our 7 week introductory session called THE SEARCH invite your family and friends to join you for lively meaningful conversations.

Fall in Love with Christ Through His Church
What does it mean to be a member of "The Body of Christ"? Did Christ establish a Church? Can I discover a real relationship with God in a religion or church?
These questions and may others like them deserve to be asked and answered. The beauty of the Catholic church is that mother church believes that each person should make an 'informed' decision about their relationship with God, with the church and their own life.

Get Involved with Our Church
The Knights of Columbus is a global Catholic fraternal service order. Membership in the Knights of Columbus embodies first and foremost the presence of God and the principles of Christianity. God's presence enriches the bond that exists between Catholic men of the Knights. He is with us at every meeting, every sponsored event, every casual encounter with a Knight on the street, in a grocery store, at Mass. That connection is unspoken, strong, shared. The Knights sponsor and are involved in numerous church and community events. Examples: monthly breakfasts after Mass, crab feeds, assistance at Christmas Mass, moving furniture for shut-ins, and so on. While participation in such activities is encouraged of the members, there are no minimums. You can be as active as befits your comfort zone.
