Message from the Pastor

Hello and Welcome!

People encounter God in different ways but always in relationship!  At St. John Brebeuf Parish, you will encounter Christ through a community that gathers daily and Sunday for Mass, who work for justice and who live a life for others by giving their time and talent and treasures for the common good.

You’ll discover that there is an ongoing role for you in the ways of faith; a way for you to share the blessings that you received from God.  Through prayer, study and meeting thoughtful, caring people you’ll discover that the message of the gospel didn’t become irrelevant. 

Please join us!  God is calling all of us to a deeper understanding of what life’s all about, faith, family and sacrificial service.

Yes, we’re going through uncertain times, but don’t let your fears get the better of you. I invite you to ground yourselves in the faith found in Christ and in this community. If you let go of your fears and give yourself over to Christ, you’ll find hope.  I don’t promise that all your problems will go away, but you will find through self- sacrifice and personal commitment a new way.  This new way is the way of Christ which does not limit life’s possibilities but brings us all a sense of fulfillment and peace.

Sincerely, 

Father Mike Meany
