Advent Giving Tree by providing needy families in our area with Christmas gifts and food; donating food items for the local 

Food Pantry; giving the gift of life and time at regularly sponsored

Blood Drives; and by giving of treasure and talent to the 

H.O.S.T. Society (Helping Others Strengthen Themselves) to provide financial and basic home needs assistance to families in our area.

Some parishioners share their talents by leading the songs during the Liturgy as Cantors, or as members of the Choir. Our Director of Music Ministry leads Adult Choirs for men and ladies - no need to read music, she'll teach you! New members are always welcome! Choir practice is every week on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm in church. We are always looking for musicians to help at Liturgies. For more info call the Parish Office at 969-0004.

While we as Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of those who have died, we also miss them and grieve their loss to us. We try to help each other work through these difficult times. Our Parish is blessed with a Bereavement Committee whose members seek to offer comfort to those who have lost loved ones through death. Families, at times, use the meeting room after the funeral to gather for a meal together. Parish members provide the food, serve and clean up afterwards. Some parishioners are able to visit the family either at home or at the funeral home, send cards, and offer special prayers for the family. If you would like to be a part of this special group, please call Kaye Lashley.
