SAINT JOHN VIANNEY

Philippians 4:6

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

About Us

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our website. As we, with the confidence of faith, continue our journey through the third millenium of human history, we have a sense that the full story is known only to God. We have been blessed in many ways. This website is one way of recalling 'life as it has been lived in the eyes of God'.

I am happy to be apart of this effort and wish to thank all who worked to produce this site. I am grateful for everything in our parish. We have many hard-working parishioners of faith, hope, and love.

As we are remembering our roots we also know that the future lies in God's hands...let us be confident and place our hand in His. Our life is a'pilgrimage' to the house of God our Father. This 'pilgrimafe' takes place each day within our hearts. may we encourage and support one another.
