"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you until the end of the age."
- Matthew 28:19-20
Whether you have a heart for outreach and service, a passion for music and worship, a desire to grow spiritually, or an interest in connecting with fellow parents or young adults, we have a ministry that will resonate with you.
OLMC is a very large parish, and because of this, we can do amazing ministerial work. However, at the same time, our size can keep many from connecting and feeling as if they are truly a part of the family. We strongly encourage all of our parishioners to participate in the Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) process. This process helps participants build community, learn many ways to grow spiritually, and, in turn, evangelize others.
We also recommend the Living Your Strengths Catholic Edition StrengthsFinder book and assessment. This program teaches you to identify and affirm your talents, and how to use them for growth and service. Stay tuned for more information about seminars here at OLMC that will help you understand and dive deeper into your God-given strengths.
