Welcome

WELCOME parishioner, friend, visitor, traveler!

We hope you find us gracious and kind … to respond to your need at this hour … for we are here to serve you … here may you experience a touch of the divine.
If you are here … for an hour of worship … for the celebration of a ceremony, may we add to the joy of this marriage, anniversary, baptism or other … may we help to carry the pain at the death of a loved one, or whatever sorrow. May you hear Christ’s comforting words in the Sacrament of Reconciliation … hear His challenges in a homily … in the Gospel … so as to “be perfected as the heavenly Father is perfect.” May God grant you peace and rest while you are under our roof.
We invite you to share a gesture, a symbol of PEACE with all around you. We invite you to encounter Christ – cradle Him in the palm of your hand … rest Him on your tongue … let Him become a part of you … transform you. When you leave us to return to the everyday life … to the streets busy with non-stop traffic, noisy … into a life of distractions and disasters … to a society and its problems … to the demands … stresses … struggles of life … carry HIM with you. You may need to step into troubled waters of life … disappointments … separations … loneliness … take the PEACE of Jesus with you. Take HIM to your families … to friends … to all you meet along the way.
May you be inspired in this House of God … not to simply live, but to live with LOVE. May you respond to God’s call to share in HIS work.
And when the work is completed … when he will gently call you to His eternal home, may we celebrate what His RESURRECTION won for us, the beatific vision of our Father.
