We Will Never Forget
As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, we remember the victims, honor the heroes, and entrust all those affected by that day to God's loving care.

What a great evening with Paul J. Kim!
Nearly 180 people joined us last night for an inspiring and engaging presentation. Because of the wide variety of attendees, Paul adapted his talk to share a message that resonated with young adults, parents, and people of all ages.
Known for his humor, authenticity, and passion for sharing the Catholic faith, Paul encouraged those present to grow closer to Christ and live their faith with purpose and joy.
