Transfiguration Parish

  We  are a Catholic community united by love, illuminated by the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We gather as a People of God seeking unity through the Holy Spirit to Worship through the Sacred Liturgy, Prayer and Sacraments, and to proclaim the Christian message which promotes Justice, Reconciliation and Service through Evangelization, Faith Formation and Discipleship

Transfiguration Parish is committed to continual growth in the Catholic Faith through a lifelong union with Jesus Christ, and in service to others through the ministry of the Church. We spread the Good News of His love and promote His Word through evangelization, education, reflection, and daily witness. As faithful stewards we pledge to direct and develop the spiritual, human, financial, and material resources of the Church. We respond to His love with gratitude and prayer, with compassion-ate service, generous sharing, reconciliation and equality for all.

The US COnference of Catholic Bishops continues its year-long effort to promote civility in public discourse through a pledge, resources and this prayer. 

Prayer to Fast from Incivility

God of all compassion,

You call us to love one another as you have loved us, especially when we face division in our communities. Help us to see our sisters and brothers as beloved children of God.

Help us to fast from incivility and feast on your love for each one of us.

Help us to fast from discord and feast on knowledge that you have created each person in your own image.

Help us to fast from fear of those with whom we disagree and feast on shating the good news of our God-given dignity.

Help us to fast from the desire to win arguments and feast on compassion shared in understanding.

Help us to fast from assumptions and feast on listening deeply to the stories of our community.

Lord, our God, be with us in this time of hurt in our communities. In out fasting may we grow closer to you, In our feasting, let us find healing.

Let us turn to you as the source of our joyfulness and our first giver of love.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful.
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth.
Lord,

In the  same  Spirit help us to relish what is right
and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

BACKPACK PROGRAM

Donation boxes are at the church entrances for items for our area schools that send home food with children in need, those who may go hungry on the weekend. Suggested items are those non-perishables in single serve containers that are easy for a child to use: mac n' cheese, chili, pastas, cereals, fruits, snacks, etc. Items will be delibered to our local schools on a regular basis. 
This program is still ongoing as the schools are continuing to get the supplies to needy families.
