Parish Registration Registration forms are available in the atrium of the church and at the parish office during regular office hours. In order that our priests and staff can better serve you, it is most helpful if you are registered and participat-ing in our parish community.

Welcome Ministry The Welcome Ministry continues to stay involved with all of the new parish member registrations. The mission of the ministry is to welcome new members to our church and share with them, the various activities and ministries that they can become involved in and be an active mem-ber of our faith community. Please say “Yes” to a Wel-come Minister when they call to schedule a visit.

Carmelites All Welcome! Carmelites meet the First Saturday of every month after the 9am Mass. As Carmelites, we live our life of allegiance to Jesus Christ and to serve Him faithfully with a pure heart and a clear conscience through a commitment to seek the face of the living God (the contemplative dimension of life), through prayer, through fraternity, and through service (diakonia). These three fundamental elements of the charism are not dis-tinct and unrelated values, but closely interwoven. For more information, contact Joannecarmel-itejo2011@gmail.com.
