We acknowledge that we are children of one God and brothers and sisters in Christ called to live in unity and peace, whose being is centered in loving God and others especially in the celebration of the Eucharist, which is a sign of our unity in Christ, whose love, is rooted in Christ, is expressed in our commitment to alleviate human suffering wherever it is found, and in our concern for justice for all people of the world especially the poor, the sick, the elderly, the youth and the oppressed. Whose love is inclusive, welcoming all, respecting all and making our parish a sign of the unity to which the Spirit calls the church and the world.

Break Open the Word

This group meets briefly with the Pastor after daily Mass on Thursday morning to share and discuss reflections on the homily from the previous weekend, and share insights on the readings for the upcoming weekend.

For additional information, contact Fr. Gene Jacques through the Parish Office.
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) - Parish School of Religion

CCD provides instruction in the Catholic faith to the children of our parish and prepares them to receive the sacraments. The CCD team consists of teachers, teacher-aides and professionals who volunteer their time and talent to provide instruction.

The CCD program meets on Wednesdays from 6:45pm to 8:00pm weekly beginning in mid-September until the end of April. Children of school age, who are not yet baptized or have been baptized in another faith, may be received into the Catholic Church through the CCD program.

When signing up for this ministry, please indicate on the commitment form the position you would like to hold. Members of this ministry must attend the Archdiocesan Safe-Environment Workshop and have a background check completed.

For additional information, contact the Pastor or Vickie Mayfield through the Parish Office.
Bible Study

Bible Study is an important part of our spiritual development. Through reading The Word, interpretation, and discussing its application, participants grow in their understanding of what God expects from each of us, leading to a stronger faith.

A new format for instruction and study is being assessed for this ministry. If you are interested in helping to restructure the format of this ministry, please contact the Pastor through the Parish Office.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The RCIA ministry meets year round on Wednesday evenings preparing adults to become Catholics. Education, hospitality and support are provided to adults who desire to become Catholic, and those Catholic adults who have not made First Communion or Confirmation. This ministry involves a journey of faith built upon prayer, scripture, worship, religious instruction, ministry and community.

Members of the RCIA team must be approved by the Pastor. Additionally, there is a need of Catholics who are in good standing in the Catholic Church to serve as sponsors for those seeking to join the Catholic faith.
If you are interested in serving as a team member or sponsor, or for additional information, contact Elizabeth Johnson through the parish office.
