Whole Parish Life wraps all of our parish community gatherings and formation into one plan to grow our community LIFE together focused on Jesus. This is a radically different approach to building our Life together as a Church as is intended for EVERY member of the Parish.
In the face of isolation, and a climate of eroding interest and engagement in the Faith, try something different and be part of building our community, renew family time and share life’s most important moments with others.
Married, Singles, Mature, Young, Kids and no Kids. ALL are part of the LIFE. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions (bottom on the page).
PLEASE NOTE: During the COvid-19 Crisis, we WILL be offering online participation options simultaneous to the in-person events.
