BUILDING A TRULY HUMAN CULTURE
Our society has forgotten about true and lasting beauty because it has forgotten to search for the truth. The Church has always been a place of culture, where the treasures of tradition have been kept and shared. Rooted in spiritual and sacramental formation, our parish desires to also be a place to rebuild that rich culture and tradition. What is truly human leads us to Christ, and only Christ shows humanity its true greatness.
