Stewardship and Fellowship

Stewardship and Fellowship are two important means of ensuring that our parish remains vibrant.  Through the sharing of our time, talents, and resources, our parish continues to develop in a material way.  Similarly, as we bond with our fellow parishioners, our parish family continues to thrive, which, in turn, helps to enhance our Catholic values.  Stewardship and fellowship help us to achieve our parish mission goals of serving God and knowing one another.
Current stewardship and fellowship activities include:
Pierogie Making and Sales
Turkey Dinner
Valentine Day Dance
Spring and Fall Dances

Founders Day Food Sale
