Welcome to St. Gerard's Parish
WELCOME to St. Gerard Roman Catholic faith community.
We welcome all – young families to the most senior of seniors! Singles, married, divorced, widowed! All are welcome in this place!
Borrowing a thought of Charles Schultz [Peanuts creator], perhaps our theology/spirituality might be described in this way: the best theology is just to love one another!And to love one another as Jesus loved is to take care of one another, especially those most disadvantaged…the sick, the suffering, the poor, the excluded.
St. Gerard’s has been described as a contemporary faith community; a hospitable faith community; a very pastoral faith community.
If this is the kind of parish in which your faith would flourish and grow, come and join us.

Thanksgiving Food For Families
We ask all council members and all parishioners, young and old to assist us in this venture and bring non-perishable food items to St. Gerard’s church and place them in the designated area in the foyer.
The Knights of Columbus, Council # 6488, at St. Gerard’s Parish are initiating a wonderful Thanksgiving non-perishable Food Drive to assist St. Vincent de Paul Ministry to fill their food hampers for the less fortunate, poor and disadvantaged.
For suggestions on what items to bring, view St. Vincent de Paul's list.
We thank you in advance for your generous and kind support. May God Bless you all.

Needed: New Sacrament Program Lead
We have lots of young parents in our parish, lots of teachers…our children need you to help with their sacrament preparation. We will provide formation, and you will grow in your own faith by helping the children. Contact Doreen Yochim, pastoral associate, for information.
The parish is in need of a person/s to take the lead with the new sacrament program for Reconciliation. Please consider this need and offer your talents and gifts for evangelizing our young children. Beginning this year, in our Diocese, Reconciliation must be celebrated before receiving First Communion. So that means that children, usually in grade 2, will be preparing for two sacraments: Reconciliation and Eucharist.
