We are a Roman Catholic Christian Community whose mission is to worship God through the Eucharist; to proclaim the reconciling love of God in Christ by word, deed and Evangelization; to mature spiritually through the challenge and guidance of the Holy Spirit; and to welcome and serve others-even the littlest and the weakest-in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Faith
Jesus went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Luke 13:22
This is an essential aspect of our Catholic faith. Over 2,000 years ago Jesus modeled for us the reconciling love of God in Christ by word, deed and evangelization. He offered this model of love through the active teaching of the 12 disciples and through the appointment of the seventy that He sent out in pairs of two to spread the Good News. We continue this tradition by passing down the faith to our children and by proclaiming the good news in our community, and to anyone we may encounter. For Jesus tells us that in order to have eternal life we must love the Lord God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Our Patron Saint
St. Paul the Apostle, original name Saul of Tarsus, was born around 4 BC, and died about 62 BC in Italy. He was one of the leaders of the first generation of Christians, often considered to be the most important person after Jesus, in the history of Christianity. In his own day, although he was a major figure within the very small Christian movement, he also had many enemies and detractors, and his contemporaries probably did not accord him as much respect as they gave other saints. Paul was compelled to struggle, therefore, to establish his own worth and authority. His surviving letters, however, have had enormous influence on subsequent Christianity and secure his place as one of the greatest religious leaders of all time.
