From the beginning of Beacons of Light, it has been important to remind ourselves of WHY the process is necessary. To that end Parishes were grouped into Families, not only to address changing demographics and to ensure the availability of priests, especially pastors, for the foreseeable future.

Archbishop Casey is now asking each Family of Parishes to participate in a process called Family Unity Discernment.

Our Family Website is getting a refresh and redesign. Click below to learn more!

With Fr. Henry’s busy schedule, we’re taking something off his plate by organizing a meal train. You can drop off your family-sized meal at the Family of Parishes Office (7600 Winton Rd.) during office hours in a disposable container. Meals must avoid ALL DAIRY, EGG & TREE NUTS.
