Mission:

To be the repository of all data and artifacts of historical significance to the parish (i.e., memorabilia, reminiscences, oral histories, documents, artifacts).
To continue to gather and preserve these items.
To record and document parish events of historical significance.
To give periodic presentations, exhibits or publications pertaining to events of historical significance to the parish or of spiritual or educational interest to the parish.
To work toward establishing a permanent home for our archive collection.

The History Committee was formed in 2006 prior to the Parish Jubilee Year with the purpose of researching and writing a book chronicling the parish’s 100-year history. The History Committee continues to solicit and welcomes donations of personal artifacts, especially old family photographs. We already possess a sizable collection of photographs and are looking to add to this collection for a future exhibit and a possible keepsake book. We look forward to your contributions. Nothing is too trivial!
