This ministry welcomes anyone who desires to deepen their relationship with Christ in a supportive and faith-filled community.

Peace in the Storm

Peace in the Storm is a ministry of prayer, support, and encouragement for those experiencing life’s difficult challenges, including chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, aging, or the challenges of caring for a loved one.

This ministry provides a place where individuals can come together, share their experiences, pray with one another, and be reminded that they are not alone. Through faith, compassion, and community, we seek to recognize God’s presence and peace even during difficult times. All are welcome!

Peace in the Storm will gather once a month on Tuesdays, beginning September 15, offering a welcoming opportunity for prayer, fellowship, and finding Christ’s peace in the midst of life’s challenges.

Meals from the Heart

Meals from the Heart is a ministry of compassion that brings parish families together to support individuals and families in our community through the simple but powerful gift of a home-cooked meal.

This ministry provides an opportunity for parishioners to serve others in a meaningful way—whether by preparing a meal, helping with delivery, or offering support when a neighbor is experiencing a difficult season. A meal is more than food; it is a reminder that someone cares and that our parish family is here to walk with one another.

Families or individuals who would like to participate in this ministry by providing a meal are invited to contact:
