Loving God with all our

minds, hearts and souls


We are a welcoming Catholic community dedicated to

loving God with all our minds, hearts and souls..


We seek to announce the Good News and

unite the LOST, UNCHURCHED and CHURCH FAMILIES,

as Jesus commands us as His disciples. 


"And Jesus came and said to them, 'All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.'" (Matthew 28:18-20 NABRE)
