connect to our ministries
While his entire life was one of self-giving to us and to his Father, Christ most simply and directly modeled the call to service by washing the feet of his Apostles at the Last Supper. Likewise, we are called to serve one another.
We invite you to answer this call by serving in any of our ministries or apostolates. In addition, if you have a need that one of our ministries or apostolates could meet, we invite you to contact us.
Contact information for all ministry and apostolate leaders can be found on page 4 of our bulletin, here .Communications Request Form
