Celebrating 40 Years Together

As we prepare to celebrate our 40th anniversary this September, we invite our parish community to journey with us over the coming months through a series of meaningful and engaging initiatives. Each month will highlight a different way we can reflect, connect, and grow together as a parish family.

May: Mission 40 – Acts of Kindness

We begin with Mission 40, a parish-wide invitation to live out our faith through simple, intentional acts of kindness.

Each week, we’ll share 10 ways to spread kindness—at home, at work, in your neighborhood, and beyond. Together, we’ll complete 40 Acts of Kindness in honor of our 40 years as a parish.

Let’s make kindness contagious and show our community what faith looks like in action.

June: Did You Know?

Discover the rich history and unique stories of our parish through fun and meaningful facts. Each week, we’ll share something you may not know—from our early beginnings to the traditions that shape who we are today.

July: Voices of Our Parish

Hear directly from fellow parishioners as they share what they love most about our church. These personal reflections will celebrate the people who make our parish such a vibrant and faith-filled community.

August: Ministry Highlights

Get to know the heart of our parish through the ministries that serve and support our community. Each feature will offer a glimpse into how these ministries began, the impact they’re making, and how you can be part of their mission.

September: A Time of Gratitude and Invitation

As we reach our anniversary month, we turn our focus to gratitude and celebration. Together, we’ll give thanks for the past 40 years, recognize those who have helped shape our parish, and look ahead with a renewed call to get involved and continue building a strong, faith-filled future.
