  • life-giving liturgical worship
  • joyful community
  • empowering others

We live our mission through worship, in which lay adults, children and youth participate alongside our clergy.  Traditional, life-giving Eucharistic liturgy and fine music are hallmarks of worship at our parish, and we have weekly services in both English and Spanish.  We create a joyful community with a harvest of fellowship activities and events for all ages.  We empower and serve others through vital ministries, particularly around feeding the hungry.  Please explore our website to get to know us or, better yet, come visit!

Photo Sale (Auditorium)

Our annual photo sale will occur on the First Sunday in Advent after all services. It’s a great time to get that special photo you enjoyed during the year — or a surprise gift for friend or family. You may find an envelope with your name containing set-a-sides featuring you or your family. Typically, the sale brings $1,400 into the parish general fund. Come look, browse, buy!

Bethlehem Craft Sale (Foyer)

We will be hosting a display of handmade olivewood religious carvings from Bethlehem and Jerusalem. They are handmade by Christians in Bethlehem who rely on these sales for their daily bread. Please support our Christian brothers and sisters. The website showing the crafts is www.holylandcsc.com.
