DISASTER PREPAREDNESS: Our Council has surveyed our Brothers’ expertise and skill sets that can be brought together when the next inevitable disaster strikes our community, and we intend to be there and to help those in need.
OTHER PARISH COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES: We usually do Sunday pancake breakfasts quarterly, two dinners and occasional teen/adult dances with live bands. Brothers are always available to help in organizing, coordinating and to participate in parish work teams, youth, picnic, service, prayer, and spiritual events. Brothers, give countless volunteer hours and a have a fun time in doing so.
