Kick-off: The new evangelizing social media project of the parish begins!
A new evangelizing social media project is starting in our parish!
The purpose is to use the parish’s social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) to share the gospel, strengthen the parish community, and showcase the activities of various groups operating in our parish and diocese.
Kick-off Meeting
When: Next Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 6:45 PM to 8:15 PM
Where: Parish Hall
At the event, the project’s vision will be presented, content will be brainstormed together, and we’ll consider how everyone can participate – with a small or large contribution. You don’t need to be a social media professional; the most important thing is enthusiasm and a desire to serve.
✨ Welcome to join us in building our parish’s evangelization work through social media!
All interested people are warmly welcome.

We thank those parishioners who have already helped.
