Deaf Ministry
Deaf Ministry Mission:

-
To pray like Jesus: Provide interpreters for ACTS and other retreats and prayer groups.

To serve like Jesus: Provide transportation for those in our Deaf Community who do not drive. Visit the Deaf at the hospital or those who are shut-in.
-
To teach like Jesus: Help our Deaf teach their children about our Catholic faith and teach the hearing community more about the Deaf by offering Sign Language and Deaf Awareness classes.
-
To live like Jesus: Provide interpreters for the Deaf at weekly Mass, Holy Days, special Masses and organized monthly signed Deaf Masses. In addition, provide communication between our Deaf and hearing communities.
The noon Mass is interpreted every Sunday, and other Masses (Holy Days, etc.) are interpreted as needed or requested. In addition, special Masses such as weddings are interpreted as requested.

Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, committed to making their community a better place while supporting their Church.

Sewing Circle
We welcome anyone who enjoys sewing, quilting, knitting, scrapbooking, crafting, or any type of

Or maybe you would enjoy a morning of wonderful fellowship and a hot cup of coffee.
