 PARISH LEADERSHIP

Rev. David Prenatt & Niki

           "My greatest joy is to celebrate the Eucharist. I believe this is the time we can bring our entire lives - our hopes, our sorrows, our triumphs, our tragedies - and find that God cares about them. In the Eucharist, we find that our lives matter. We are part of God's Plan. We are comforted, encouraged, inspired, renewed, cherished, loved, and we receive the nourishment we need to live our world as God's own children." - Father David Prenatt
