"We will be the hands of God’s compassion and presence, acknowledging and focusing on the needs of parishioners, visitors and the community."

-St. Richard's Pastoral Care Commission, Vision 2025

Each year, we collect supplies to be distributed to our community by VEAP. We have a detailed list of the most need items and we will have a table set up in the narthex to collect them through August 6. Thank you for your generosity!

It is in darkness and silence that abuse occurs and all too often it is only later that we realize that there were symptoms. Lay ministry volunteers, parents and catechists are in a special position to recognize signs of potential abuse suffered by children, the elderly or vulnerable adults, and bring it into the light. Won’t you join us in proactively protecting our most vulnerable community members? On Saturday, February 25, we will host safe environment training here at the church. All are welcome! Please pre-register online.

We need cookies! You can drop them off on Sunday 11/06 or Monday 11/07. Alternatively, a $20 donation will buy a tray of 7 dozen cookies—just drop your monetary donation into the offertory basket at Mass, making sure the envelope is marked “Election Cookies.”
