Adult Religious Education is an invitation to continue growing in faith, understanding, and relationship with God—no matter where you are on your journey. Our ministry is centered on three simple but powerful goals: learn, love, and live.
Our Catholic faith is an incredible gift from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—rich, beautiful, and full of depth. It’s a treasure we can explore for a lifetime, always discovering something new to inspire, challenge, and strengthen us. Whether you are looking to deepen your knowledge, ask questions, or reconnect with your faith, this is a welcoming place to do just that.
Through engaging discussions, meaningful study, and shared experiences, we explore the wonder of God’s love and what it means to live out our faith in everyday life. Together, we reflect on Scripture, Church teachings, and the ways God is actively working in our lives today.
You don’t need to be an expert—just bring an open heart and a desire to grow. Come join a supportive community of fellow parishioners as we learn more about our faith, grow in love for God and one another, and discover how to carry His light into the world.

Our Men’s Gospel Reflection ministry offers a welcoming space for men to come together in faith, conversation, and encouragement. Each week, we gather to reflect on the upcoming Sunday Gospel and explore how Christ is present in the everyday moments of our lives.
We meet on Thursdays from 7:00–8:00 PM in the Parish Life Center. This is not a formal Bible study, but a relaxed and meaningful discussion where you can share insights, listen to others, and grow in your relationship with God alongside fellow parishioners.
Whether you’re new to faith-sharing or have been walking this journey for years, you’ll find a supportive, down-to-earth group of men seeking to live the Gospel more fully in their daily lives. Come as you are—we would truly love to have you join us.

Our ministry is dedicated to faith formation for those exploring or entering the Catholic Church.
Through the OCIA process, we walk alongside individuals who feel called to learn more about the Catholic faith or to become fully initiated into the Church.
Whether you have never been baptized, were baptized in another Christian tradition, or were baptized in the Catholic Church but have not yet received First Holy Communion or Confirmation, you are warmly invited. This is a place to ask questions, grow in understanding, and discover how God is working in your life—at your own pace and in a supportive community. We would be honored to journey with you.

Classes are held in person on Sunday mornings from 9:30 am to 10:45 am, creating a fun and faith-filled environment for learning and friendship. For families who prefer to learn at home, we also offer a flexible online homeschooling program.

Our ministry is dedicated to parish renewal through faith formation. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to grow as missionary disciples—men and women who place Christ at the center of their lives and share His love with others.
If you’re longing to experience your faith in a new and meaningful way, this is for you. Rediscover a personal relationship with God, deepen your understanding of the Gospel, and learn simple yet powerful ways to live and share your faith in everyday life.
Through small groups, offered throughout the year, using the Catholic Christian Outreach program, you’ll grow alongside others in a supportive and welcoming community. Together, we explore essential tools like the Kerygma, personal witness, prophetic listening, and intentional accompaniment—practical ways to live out your faith with confidence and purpose.
Parish renewal begins in each of us. As we draw closer to Christ, we help others come to know Him too. We would love for you to join us on this journey.

Our ministry is centered on prayer, parish community, and fellowship. Born from our Parish Renewal Formation program, the Prayer Service Ministry offers meaningful opportunities to come together in faith and connection.
Our periodic Prayer Services are thoughtfully designed to bring parishioners together in communal prayer. Each gathering focuses on a meaningful theme and includes moments of shared prayer, reflection, and peaceful silence—creating space to encounter God in a deeper way.
At times, members of our parish community also share personal testimonies, offering inspiring glimpses into their faith journeys and how God is at work in their lives.
And it doesn’t end there—each service is followed by a time of fellowship, where you can relax, connect, and build friendships with fellow parishioners. Whether you’re just beginning your faith journey or looking to grow deeper, you are warmly welcome here. We would love to pray and connect with you.
