Our parish community exists to offer Jesus to everyone. Jesus is the one who has rescued us and brought hope into this broken world…into our broken lives. As he restores his creation, God is restoring humanity to the dignity of the Divine image in which every person is created. St. Alphonsus is a community of hope in the salvation Jesus has won for us. Our Sunday worship is central to everything we do, as during Mass we offer God all glory and praise for the gifts he has given us, then go forth from our worship more prepared to share Jesus with everyone…
