My Dear People of God;

For over one hundred years Transfiguratioin Parish has welcomed diverse peoples into its arms of love to worship God and celebrate the most important events of human life.  In the Roman Catholic tradition, we listen to God's Word in the Sacred Scriptures and experience the grace of conversion.  We get to know Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Through the celebration of the Church's Sacraments we are given the free grace to be saved for all eternity.  What a wonderful gift God's love is for us and His grace making us brothers and sisters in the Lord.  We welcome all who come to be a part of our community and we have a place for all. With us, you will enjoy faithful Catholic Homilies and the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy of the Church.  You will hear beautiful sacred music directing our hearts and minds to God and His love for us.

Our church building inspires all who enter through its doors.

As pastor I look forward to meeting you after mass in our parish.   Join us!  

 Father Tom
