Welcome to St. Gerard's Parish
WELCOME to St. Gerard Roman Catholic faith community.
We welcome all – young families to the most senior of seniors! Singles, married, divorced, widowed! All are welcome in this place!
Borrowing a thought of Charles Schultz [Peanuts creator], perhaps our theology/spirituality might be described in this way: the best theology is just to love one another!And to love one another as Jesus loved is to take care of one another, especially those most disadvantaged....the sick, the suffering, the poor, the excluded.
St. Gerard’s has been described as a contemporary faith community; a hospitable faith community; a very pastoral faith community.
If this is the kind of parish in which your faith would flourish and grow, come and join us.

Mission Mexico - Thank You
A
In case you may have forgotten, we have Mission Mexico gift cards in the parish office:
We were very fortunate to have Mike MacDonald with us on the weekend, sharing news of our Diocesan mission in Mexico. And we are very grateful to all of our parishioners who donate to this ministry; we are the #1 parish in the Diocese in our support of Mission Mexico! -
‘A gift has been given in your name to Mission Mexico by…’ and
- 'A gift has been given in memory of…to Mission Mexico by…’
These cards are another way of supporting Mission Mexico.
