Join us at the 8:30 a.m. Mass tomorrow, Wednesday, February 2nd for the Feast of the Presentation and the Blessing of Candles.

It's an ancient Church custom to use blessed candles for household prayer throughout the year.  Many families use these candles for family prayer, at family dinners, be it every day or special occasions like Christmas, Easter, Anniversaries, birthdays, or to remember loved ones who have gone onto heaven to be with Jesus.

​With Christ as our light, we warm a lost and wintry world!  Join us!  And bring your candles that you'd like to have blessed!

Due to lack of interest,
this event has been cancelled.
Stay tuned for other
​Tri-Parish events coming your way!

We invite you to  take a break and try Alpha, an opportunity to explore the basics of the Christian faith. 
 
What is Alpha?  Alpha is a series of gatherings where guests have the opportunity to explore life and the Christian Faith in a friendly and inviting atmosphere where no question is seen as too simple or too complex.  It’s an opportunity to explore the big questions of life. Why am I here?  What is my purpose? Is there more to life than this?  Why is there suffering in the world?
 
Who’s it for?  Absolutely anybody!  Non-Christians, fallen away Catholics, cradle Catholics, anyone interested in exploring or questioning the meaning of life.
 
How does it work? Each session includes a meal (except for the online version!), a short video followed by a chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic in a small group setting. There’s no obligation to say anything, there’s nothing you can’t say (seriously) and there’s no such thing as a silly question. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest and informal setting.
 
You can watch videos to learn more about Alpha on our website - just click here.
