Community Life ministries are those organizations which gather as a community for fellowship, prayer, and activities that support the mission of the parish. They include:
Ministries for children
The Scouts — Our Scouting program includes Cub Scouts for young people in grades K-5 and Scouts BSA for Grades 6-12, and seeks to teach them about their Duty to God, Country and Self while building Leadership, Citizenship and Personal Fitness – all while having fun and providing service to our parish and the community. The Cub Scouts are open to boys and girls, and we hope to expand our current male Scouts BSA program to include young ladies in the near future. If you are a girl in grade 6-12, contact Deacon Kevin now for information about the new program (see the Scoutspage for more information)
Special Interests
The Holy Name Society—a religious organization that serves the spiritual, social, and educational needs of the men of the parish.
The Rosary Altar Society—a parish confraternity whose members enhance the life of our parish through liturgical service, prayer and devotion to the gospel teachings, honoring the desire of our Lord to know, love and venerate His Mother
Seniors Clubs—provide an opportunity for those in the second half of life a safe place for fellowship and involvement
Hospitality Committees—provide a festive and welcoming atmosphere in which people who see each other at Mass can get to know each other better, fostering a true sense of community
Golf Classic—a yearly event, open to men and women, and held in the Fall, usually in September
Parish Picnic—another yearly Fall event, when our parish family gets together for fun and food on the grounds of the Our Lady of Sorrows campus, right next to the church

Tens of thousands of couples have healed their marriages through Retrouvaille (pronounced Retro-vy). It provides help for marriage problems, difficulties or crises, and couples learn to build communication skills and to increase intimacy.
