Family Consecration Workshop

Today, families are falling apart and falling away from our Catholic faith and if you’re like me, you’re looking for a way to protect your family.
We invite you to join us on November 22nd at either 9 am or 5:30 pm for a 2-hour Family Consecration Workshop in partnership with the Apostolate for Family Consecration.
What is Family Consecration you ask? Family Consecration is an intentional choice to set your family apart for God with the help of the Holy Family – Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph. Families who make the consecration see their children and grandchildren hold fast to their faith and even discern calls to the priesthood and religious life.

The Miraculous Medal Novena returns to St. Rita on Monday, September 9, 2024, from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. The Novena will not be held on any Monday when there is a civic holiday.

Pastoral Priority Plan Feedback

In February of 2024, our St. Gaspar Family of Parishes took a significant step forward in the Beacons of Light process by engaging in a transformative journey known as “Next Generation Parish.” Under the leadership of Fr. Tony and with the invaluable support of the Catholic Leadership Institute, we formed an Envisioning Team with a representative from each of our six parishes. The team has worked diligently over the past several months to create a comprehensive Pastoral Priority Plan to guide our parish community into a vibrant and sustainable future. The Pastoral Priority Plan includes our family purpose, vision, and values, which we hope will inspire and unite us all as we move forward. The details of this plan were shared on September 14/15, 2024. This form has been created to allow parishioners to provide feedback about the Pastoral Priority Plan. The team and our Pastor, Fr. Tony Fortman C.PP.S, will receive the input.

God’s Garden at St. Paul

God’s Garden is a volunteer-run garden that provides food insecure families with fresh locally-grown produce that they otherwise may not be able to obtain. The garden is a product of the efforts of parishioners from the St. Gaspar Family of Parishes and is located on the St. Paul Parish grounds.

Volunteers are always needed on Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 7:00 pm throughout the summer.
