Parish Mission Saint Ferdinand Catholic Church is a large, vibrant parish that has a tradition of serving God’s people with the warmth of a small parish. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we prayerfully seek to serve God by the way we worship, celebrate the sacraments, witness the Gospel, and serve one another. We are committed to live our Christian life as a community of hospitality, spiritual enrichment, and service through works of compassion, mercy, and evangelization. We are called to proclaim, teach and model the good news of Jesus Christ. We pledge our time, talent, and treasures for the fulfillment of our parish mission.

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Please pray for the soul and family of Edward Uminski, husband of Anna Uminski.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, continue their journey to eternal life in the heavenly kingdom. Amen.
