Community Ministries

Our parish has been blessed with many gifted people. The ministries of the parish are the embodiments of our members’ gifts. Individually and collectively, they offer living proof that the Spirit remains active in our midst and they offer concrete avenues whereby each of us can deepen our friendship in the Lord. Although the specific focus of each ministry may vary, the primary purpose is always the same: to enhance the spiritual life of our community by means of prayer, study and service.  The work of this commission is supported and guided by Linda Gonzalez. 847-623-2655
