“Very nice community church. They are very supportive of the community and the schools. The church hosts several holiday events and is very active with supporting the school athletic activities. I it great to have a church really give back to the community they are in.”
“We have gone to this church for about 3 years.
Great community of people, strong and consistent leadership within the church, and a good foundation of faith based on the Bible. We liked that this church was in the same area of town that we live in on the southside. There are also many people from Carlisle who attend this church as well.
Wonderful place to get to know people, make friends, and most importantly build your faith!”

“This is a parish is diverse with a variety of people from different cultural backgrounds. Sometimes at special masses a portion will be spoken in another language. First Friday Mass in the evening is my absolute favorite. After mass we each light a candle and sing Marian songs as we process behind a Fatima statue. It is very moving. The Daddy Daughter dance is a highlight for our family. I really enjoy the Latin Mass. It is beautiful inside and it is easy to focus on Jesus inside, very traditional and beautiful. We are not members but attend often. It is a great local parish.”
