Community Life ministries are those organizations which gather as a community for fellowship, prayer, and activities that support the mission of the parish. They include:
Ministries for children
The Scouts — Our Scouting program includes Cub Scouts for young people in grades K-5 and Scouts BSA for Grades 6-12, and seeks to teach them about their Duty to God, Country and Self while building Leadership, Citizenship and Personal Fitness – all while having fun and providing service to our parish and the community. The Cub Scouts are open to boys and girls, and we hope to expand our current male Scouts BSA program to include young ladies in the near future. If you are a girl in grade 6-12, contact Deacon Kevin now for information about the new program (see the Scouts page for more information)

You may feel a deep numbness and may not be able to name the pain or recognize any of the symptoms. Rachel’s Vineyard’s Retreat is a chance for healing, through a supportive, non-judgmental process, in an atmosphere of confidentiality, understanding, and compassion. Click here for more information.
