A Message From Our Pastor
Dear Parish Family,
I am honored and grateful to serve as your pastor and witness the love of God each day in our parish community. It is thanks to the generosity of parishioners like you that our parish can continue to worship, provide the sacraments, foster prayer, educate, evangelize, and serve — in short, to love one another as God loves us.
I invite you to prayerfully consider how you are able to respond to the call to live and share God’s love by making a commitment to financially support our parish through our Rooted in Christ – An Invitation to Belong program. With your help, we can continue living and growing in our love for God, love for our parish, and love for our neighbor, supporting the mission of Christ and His Church.
As we continue to live God’s love and surrender our lives to the Lord, He will do amazing and beautiful things in our hearts, families, parish, and community. I sincerely thank you for putting your faith into action through your sacrificial giving.
Gratefully yours in Christ,
Fr. Dustin Schultz, Pastor
