Saint Andrew Catholic Church Events: 

Join us for our Corpus Christi procession Sunday, June 7. The Knights of Columbus will lead the procession, which will start at 11:45 AM. There will be various stops around the parish property to pray a decade of the rosary at each stop. There will also be some singing of hymns. We will return to the church for Benediction.

Consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

As we approach the month of June, traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Bishop Patrick Neary invites our parish communities to join the Church in the United States in a renewed act of consecration to the Sacred Heart.

He will be joining his brother bishops in this consecration on June 11 at their annual gathering. This consecration is an opportunity for us to  entrust our nation, our diocesan Church and our own ministry to the Heart of Christ — His mercy, His compassion and His steadfast love.

In light of the bishop’s request, Saint Andrew Catholic Church will commemorate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday,
June 12 with a Mass at 6:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served in the Gathering Space after Mass. Thank you to the CCW for hosting hospitality.



Let’s gather in solidarity, united in prayer for healing, renewal, and peace. 

Millions of Monicas (M.O.M.) recognizes the countless mothers, biological or spiritual, who rather than fret for the souls of their children, want to  join forces and do something to gently lead them back to our beautiful Catholic faith.

This is not a support group where help is sought to “fix” our children or their circumstances. Quite the contrary, there is no sharing of stories or group discussions. No one knows and no one asks why each mother,  grandmother, Godmother, aunt, friend is there. Souls are simply united in prayer, allowing God to shoulder our concerns.

Each “Monicas” evening will follow the same one-hour format.

Please join us on the third Monday of the month (June 15) with check-in beginning at 5:50 PM with a prompt start at 6:00 PM. We will meet in the sanctuary of the church. Bring a rosary.
