Divine Worship and Sacraments

We aspire to help support prayer and worship come throughout our region, to help you experience the beauty and meaning behind the Mass and sacraments, so they feel uniquely personal, relevant, and powerful. Support local parishes.

"Remain United with Me" - John 14:14

By supporting our local parishes, weʼre committed to fostering active participation in the liturgy. We encourage everyone to respond in love as we come together to worship God.

Whether youʼre at Mass or getting involved with your parish, weʼre here to inspire full, active participation, and connect your faith to a personal encounter with the body of Christ.
