About
Welcome!

“Knowing Jesus is the best gift that anyone can ever receive. That we have encountered Him is the best thing that has happened in our lives. And making Him known by our deeds and words is our greatest joy.” – Pope Francis

We are here to offer every person in our community an opportunity to encounter Jesus so that we can continue to grow as His disciples offering credible witness to the difference He has made in our lives.

& Sacraments
“Catholics believe that the Sacraments are like ladders that God gave to Himself by which He climbs down to us.

The Catholic view of the Sacraments is that they are the means of salvation; that God really forgives your sins when the priest pronounces absolution in Christ’s name and in His authority; that God really regenerates your soul and removes Original Sin when you are baptized; that Christ really unites Himself to your soul in a spiritual marriage when you receive Holy Communion.

Catholics believe that the Sacraments are how we cross over 2,000 years and become ‘contemporary with Christ,’ or rather how Christ crosses over and becomes contemporary with us. The answer is that we meet not just spiritually and subjectively, in our minds; we meet materially and objectively in and through the matter the Sacraments.

The Sacraments are not ‘magical’ because they are not automatic. We can block the grace, and we usually do, more or less, like stopping down a faucet, or pulling down the window blinds. But the water, or the light, comes from God, not from us. Christ really comes to meet us and sanctify us in the Sacraments, however little we may appreciate Him” (Peter Kreeft, Jesus Shock, pp. 115-116).

“Hope is a path taken with others. An African proverb says: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go with others”. Isolation and aloofness never generate hope; but closeness to others and encounter do. Left to ourselves, we will go nowhere.”

“…it is vital to see different ways of thinking not in terms of risk, but of richness and growth. The world needs this culture of encounter. It needs young people who seek to know and love one another, to journey together in building a country like that which José Martí dreamed of: “With all, and for the good of all”

-Pope Francis, 2015

“Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Song, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

We believe that we all have the responsibility for promoting the teaching mission of the Church to people of all ages. We are called to be disciples. We believe personal formation in the Faith is accessible to everyone. We have several programs that strive to meet you at every stage of your journey to more understanding of Christ and His Church.

We know you’re busy, and a million things are competing for your time. But we also know you’ll meet new friends and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Give it a try!

“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied Grace” (1Pt 4:10)
