Go and Make Disciples ...***Note: Due to COVID restrictions, many of our ministries / activities are not currently running. Please contact us for details.
One of our pastor's favorite reminders to parishioners is "You are the Church." At The Catholic Community of Hopewell Valley, members of our three parishes live that phrase by worshipping, serving and growing in faith together. We invite you to explore this Parish Life section of the site to learn more about us and to reflect on how your unique gifts could add to our community.
From parish ministries, to prayer opportunities, to faith sharing, outreach and seasonal giving and hosted organizations, there are so many ways experience God's presence among us and to let God shine through the gifts and talents we've been blessed with, to be shared with our community. Welcome! -
