In Invitation:
Faith Formation is an important matter for the future of the parish. How we can help and guide our children and parents to turn towards the Eucharist—the central point of the Catholic faith.
Just PSJ23 and STEM School, each year, we have around 150 students attending faith formation classes and receiving the sacraments.
What should we do to improve the faith formation program?
What can we do and how can we reach out to them in order to have a vibrant parish and it enriches spirituality as well as draws more families into our parish?
Please join us

We need parishioners to join our facility team. Volunteering as part of the facility team is a beautiful way to serve God and your parish community. By helping care for the church, you contribute to maintaining a sacred space where we gather to worship, pray, and seek comfort. Your efforts, no matter how small, help create a welcoming and peaceful environment for others to encounter God. It's a humble and rewarding form of stewardship that allows you to give back to the church that nourishes your faith, while also strengthening bonds with fellow parishioners as you work together for a common purpose.
