Parishioners of all ages use smartphones and apps to connect everyday and are ready for their parish to go mobile. Not only could they keep up to date with church events and notifications but they could have prayers, readings, and reflections in their pocket at all times. A first-of-its-kind app for iOS and Android devices, myParish helps build stronger Catholic communities and better engage the New Evangelization. If that wasn’t enough, your app is up and running before you even touch it. Work with it for a day and your app would be tailored to the needs of your parish.
Stations of the Cross are observed every Friday in Lent at 6:00 p.m. in the Cathedral Church. Come and walk with Jesus on his way to the Cross in Lent.
Our parish has invested in FORMED – that each of us might grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ and in our desire to share our faith with others, especially those closest to us.
