We embrace individuals and families who have come to our church seeking to learn more about our Catholic-Christian faith. Every year, we run the RCIA program from November, throughout Advent and Lent, culminating with the receiving of the sacraments at the Easter Vigil.

Youth Ministry

Through the years, this ministry has adapted to the interests of the parish youth and has offered programs that encourage team-building, formation, sport, or music. Knowing too well that “kids grow up too quickly”, the parish youth ministry continuously tries to respond to trends and ask “what’s next” for our young people. It is our Church’s dream that today’s young people will own the Parish and lead the community to grow in faith, love and justice.
