The Rescue Project

The Rescue Project was again another enjoyable experience of the Gospel as always surrounded by food, conversation and prayer. We spent 8 weeks together learning about the stories of our lives and how we can change the story to the only story that really matters. A great reflection for the participants as we enter into Holy Week.

Here is what some of the participants had to say....

-”The magnitude of God’s sacrifices”, “Explanation of the crucifixion was amazing”, “I realized I owe him everything”, “It makes me have more trust in God's plan for me and I'm able to take a step back and not worry as much about things I can’t control “

The Catholic Parent On FORMED

Do you ever feel like it's almost impossible to raise holy kids who love God (and sit still in Mass!) in our modern world? You're not alone. This six-episode series features real Catholic families like yours sharing their daily struggles and victories. Created by the Augustine Institute and Catholic Sprouts, The Catholic Parent aims to encourage you as a mom or dad as you embrace your God-given role to form your family in the richness of the Catholic faith.

Watch the series with your spouse, with friends, on your own, or as part of a small group!

CWL Religious Store

Sacramental gifts are available at the CWL Religious Store. The store will be open in the parish hall during hospitality on Sunday, April 27th following the 9 am and 11 am masses. Typically, the religious store is available on every third Sunday of the month alongside the pancake breakfast in the Parish Hall. With Easter falling on the third Sunday of April, we will have the religious store the following weekend instead (April 27th).

Come check out books and religious articles. There will be gift items available for those receiving first communion and confirmation in the coming month.
