We are theRoman Catholic
ChurchWe have the distinction of tracing our originsback to the time of the apostlesand the birth of Christianity
Because of this ancient lineage we,as a Church, are unique in our
traditionsand how we live our Christian
heritage
Who are we as a parish?Saint Mary Magdalene Parish is certainly young in comparison with our Faith Heritage.
Even our parish demographics are young and vibrant as we are composed of many young families with young children.
At the same time, our senior population provides witness and assistance to those rearing their children in the Catholic Faith.

Offer?As a parish, we strive to be a sacrament of our founder and Lord, Jesus Christ. As he reached out to all whom he encountered, so we make it our pledge to reach out to each person, attentive to their own life situations, in an effort to share the good news of Christ’s love and concern for all people.

What is Involved?
The process of formally joining the Catholic Church as it is lived here at Saint Mary Magdalene Parish
varies depending upon your own religious background.
Please remember that participating in any of the information sessions
does not commit you to joining the Catholic Church. We see these sessions as an opportunity
to answer your questions about the Church as well as our being able to present to you
our core practices, beliefs and values.

If you have celebrated baptism in another Christian tradition, we normally do not re-baptize.
