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.
