2024 Annual Stewardship Renewal

On September 28th we begin a vital part of life as a parish family — our annual Stewardship Renewal. Please take the time to review your commitment materials when they arrive in your mailbox and see where God is calling you to commit more deeply to Him in the year ahead! On Commitment Sunday, October 12/13,
each parish family is asked to return their completed commitment card or complete a card online.
