We are a People of Hope and hope does not disappoint.

St. Paul reminds us that we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ...and this hope we have does not disappoint.

Join us as we gather, then, for a 31-day (virtual) formation event to learn more about your faith, find tips for raising faith-filled children, discuss how the pandemic has changed our Church, and much, much more.
