Each year, we hold a brunch for those in our "90+ Club" - those amazing parishioners who have lived 90+ years on this earth. We like to spoil them, feed them, and celebrate them.

Couples events are an opportunity for couples to grow in their relationship with Christ together. A speaker and/or prayer experience will lead the hour-long event.

There should be two couples events each year. The following is a proposed schedule of these events:
2024 FEBRUARY - Marriage & Fruits of the Holy Spirit
2024 AUGUST - Marriage & Gifts of the Holy Spirit
2025 FEBRUARY - Marriage & the Sacraments of Initiation
