We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people. Our parish mission is:
"Nourished by the Word and Eucharist, under the spiritual guidance of our pastor, we the members of Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, empowered by the Holy Spirit, strive to create a vital, welcoming Catholic faith community that embraces each person. Acknowledging our blessings and supporting one another, we share our faith, time, and talent, to joyfully proclaim the Gospel and humbly serve the needs of God's people and work to be the presence of Christ in an ever- changing world."
Prayer is communion with God. Prayer can be public or personal, spoken or silent. The Psalms are prayers we sing.
Our parish community stays informed with Catholic News and Perspective.
The seasons of the Church follow one universal liturgical calendar.
The Pope is the chief pastor and shepherd of the whole Church.
We follow spiritual law and foundation.
The Catholic Church has defined seven sacraments - instituted by and through the life of Jesus Christ.
