What to Expect

What are services like?
We are a conservative Church with tradional liturgies. Masses are all in English except on Sunday 12:00 noon when we have a Latin Tridentine High Mass.

What is the community like?
One of the unique characteristics of our parish is its small size, which means that there is a special closeness among the parish families. Also, the beautiful church built so many years ago provides a most inspiring and spiritual environment for our Masses.

What if I'm not a Christian?
We welcome all people to follow God's call to know Him and to attend our Masses.
