As your pastor, I aim to create a welcoming and inclusive space where all are embraced, accepted, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with God and one another. I am committed to fostering a community where each person feels valued, supported, and empowered to live out their faith authentically.

I believe that the strength of our parish lies in the collective efforts of each individual member, and I invite you to join me in building upon the rich legacy of faith that has been passed down to us. Together, let us strive to deepen our understanding of God's love, to strengthen our bonds of communion, and to be beacons of hope and compassion in our world.
