PARISH LIFE

Parish Life

SEAS Outreach Society

 

The SEAS Outreach Society (S.O.S.) accepts donations from the parish and uses the money to help local families and individuals who are experiencing financial difficulties as well as helping to meet community and diocesan needs.

Finance Council

 

The finance council acts as steward of the parish finances and helps keep the parish fiscally sound. They advise the Pastor on financial matters of the parish and are responsible for monitoring all income and expenses, and approving the annual budget. They also help set priorities for major expenses of the parish.


Parish Pastoral Council

 

Members are elected by the parish and serve a three-year term. The Parish Pastoral Council serves as an advisory committee to Fr. Holland and works to develop goals that keep us on the Lord's path while we fulfill the objectives of our mission statement.

The heart of a parish is the Eucharist, but the parish family is the body that makes it a unique and vibrant community with an exciting parish life. Our parish offers a variety of ways to be part of that communal family in addition to the celebration of the sacraments.

Faith formation is a vital element of the Catholic life as we grow in knowledge and understanding of our faith in Jesus Christ and the Church he gave us. A deeper understanding can lead to a more intimate relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and through the Trinity to the Church and our family, friends, neighbors, parish, and community. Such faith formation is not just for children, but for all of us as we grow as Catholics. Our parish has many opportunities for faith formation that we encourage you to explore.
Another way to participate in our parish life are the various parish ministries, including liturgical ministries, such as choir member, lector, altar server, and Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist; and others.  God calls us to use our gifts and talents to glorify Him and make life better for other people. Please prayerfully consider these opportunities for getting involved in ministry. And if you have an idea for a new parish ministry, please contact us.

With so many ways to be part of parish life, you'll want to stay informed by regularly reading the weekly bulletin, just in case you've misplaced the one you received at Mass. You’ll also want to check the parish calendar for a list of events and mass schedules.

Our parish has a rich history in our town, being founded by people who trusted in the Lord and gathered together under the leadership of our bishop. Who we are today is based on who we were yesterday. Find out more about our spiritual forefathers as you read the history of our parish.

We hope you'll also enjoy viewing photos of our parish, including some of the many enjoyable events and programs we've had over the years.
