“Saint Eugene Church is a Roman Catholic community of faith. As such, we believe in Jesus Christ, strive to follow Him under the authority and guidance of His Church’s (the Catholic Church’s) Magisterium, and gather together as a community primarily to engage in the sacred worship of God through the liturgy, most especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass-the sacrament of the Eucharist, which is the source and summit of our faith. Our parish community welcomes God’s people from every walk of life and is committed to doing its part to fulfill Christ’s great commission to “Go and preach the Gospel to all nations and to every people”. Recognizing Christ’s presence and suffering in the poor and less fortunate, we are also committed to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Insofar as we are able, we seek to assist the spiritual, physical, and temporal needs of those around us. Relying on God’s grace and mercy, we attain spiritual growth and bear witness to the truth about God and Jesus Christ to our society and our world”.

Youth Mass Next Youth Mass: Faith is living and dynamic: if not fed, it grows weak; if not practiced, it grows rusty; if not shared, it grows cold; if not lived, it dies.1st Friday Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and 1st Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary are held every month. Please see the schedule below for dates and time. 1st Friday 1st Saturday 2023
Mass Intention Book Open Religious Education In addition to bringing their children to religion classes, parents are encouraged to attend Sunday Mass with their children; for the faith to be experienced it must be enlivened spiritually with the grace of the Sacraments, especially the sharing of God’s Word and His Body and Blood, gifts given to us at each and every Mass. It is the house, that is, the life, built on the solid rock of faith rather than the shifting sands of ease and comfort that sustains in time of trial and difficulty; that trials and difficulties come is without question—that we can be sustained in the face of these depends on how well we have built, have practiced, have nurtured our faith, particularly with the living Body and Blood of Christ, the Eucharist, each and every Sunday. Faith is living and dynamic: if not fed, it grows weak; if not practiced, it grows rusty; if not shared, it grows cold; if not lived, it dies. JOIN OUR PARISH Register by downloading a parish registration form. Completed registration forms can be returned by mail, brought to the parish office, or dropped in the collection basket at any weekend mass. |
