Welcome Home
We are a faith-based Catholic community whose members are enriched by the celebration of the Sacraments and opportunities to deepen our prayer lives. Guided by the Word of God and family values, we strive always to be a beacon of light for the lost, the lonely, the marginalized, and all those seeking the truth as we walk in the footsteps of those first disciples of Jesus and our patron St. Polycarp.

SCAM TEXT ALERT!!! Once again, a few people have received scam text messages pretending to be from Father Peter, asking for assistance.
