Youth Group Ministry
The Youth Ministry of our Parish has existed since 1994 when it was founded by a dedicated group of youth and volunteer adult advisors. The Youth group community participates in a host of activities, ranging from the social to the educational, from the spiritual to the charitable. On many occasions, the group’s members have assisted at other parish functions, or raised money for worthy causes, or done some special thing for our children or the elderly. The youth love to have fun in everything they do. Young people have an astonishingly full involvement in almost every facet of parish life.
Legion of Mary
The Legion of Mary is an international association of the faithful of the Catholic Church who serve the Church on a voluntary basis.
To be in the Legion of Mary, one must be a practicing Catholic. Active members serve God under the banner of Mary by practicing the Spiritual Works of Mercy. The main mission of the Legion consists in activities directed towards all men and women, young and old, rich and poor as well as people from the margins of society. The members of the Legion are primarily engaged in the performance of the Spiritual Works of Mercy rather than works of material aid. Meetings are held weekly. The Legion of Mary is open to all male and female Catholics.
