Parish Evangelization
Would you like to help build the parish? Help the parish grow by inviting someone you know who has fallen away from the church to come to Mass with you one weekend.
Or invite someone new who is not Catholic. God is always calling new people to him and asking us to live out our baptismal call. What better time since we hear so much negative publicity about God and church? We might not be able to bring God and prayer back into school and our government, but we can bring people into the church.
