- Special Interests
- The Holy Name Society—a religious organization that serves the spiritual, social, and educational needs of the men of the parish.
- The Rosary Altar Society—a parish confraternity whose members enhance the life of our parish through liturgical service, prayer and devotion to the gospel teachings, honoring the desire of our Lord to know, love and venerate His Mother
- Seniors Clubs—provide an opportunity for those in the second half of life a safe place for fellowship and involvement
- Hospitality Committees—provide a festive and welcoming atmosphere in which people who see each other at Mass can get to know each other better, fostering a true sense of community
- In the parish, but not of it
- The Knights of Columbus

August 2Reading is an integral part of education, and many children don’t have access to the books they need. If you have unneeded books appropriate for students of grades PreK-8, you can donate them, and know that there will be children who are able to read who otherwise would not enjoy that experience. Watch for special bins at the church doors for the weekends of August. They will be marked for this project. Click the article title for more information behind this project.
