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.”

On May 14 & 15, we will be holding our second annual Gifts Celebration. During all Masses, our giftedness will be affirmed and blessed. In the Social Hall there will be tables showcasing a variety of ministries and programs that take place at St. Richard’s Catholic Church. It is an opportunity to acknowledge all the things that take place and all the people who make our parish home. Come help us celebrate—and maybe discover a new gift of your own!
