Called to Serve

See, Love, Give—Stewardship in Action

We are each called to share our unique gifts and serve one another within our parish community. Beginning on Laity Sunday, October 20, 2024, our four week series Called to Serve invites everyone to reflect on how they can share their time and talents in parish life.

Through homilies and testimonies, we will explore servant leadership, how to recognize the needs of others, and how to love and give through stewardship.The series will culminate with a chance to connect with ministry leaders and explore opportunities to get involved.
