Parish Groups – An Invitation to get involved
Our parish is blessed with many active and vibrant groups that play a vital role in the life of our community. These groups contribute in many ways – through prayer, service, outreach, and fellowship helping to strengthen our parish family. However, many of our parishioners may not yet be aware of the wonderful work these groups do. If you feel called to become more involved in the life of the parish, we warmly invite you to consider joining one of our groups. Together, let us continue to build a stronger, faith- filled community. Bishop Philip in his 6 holy habits asked us to participate in a small group for faith formation, prayer, and fellowship with others. If you haven’t yet joined a group why not get involved!
