Project Nazareth.  Are you longing to deepen your faith and that of your children?  St. Augustine knew what he was talking about when he said: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” Coming February 19, 2023 the Parish will be offering a fantastic opportunity to help you and your family grow together in faith and love.   No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, cradle Catholics and converts alike, you will find the knowledge, skills, and activities you need to instruct your children in the faith while deepening your own faith.
