Message from the pastor
As the pastor of St. Nicholas Church, I am humbled to be your spiritual guide as we journey through our earthly
pilgrimage. We all come from God and are on a journey back to Him. St. Nicholas parish is a place that we can call home while we are on this journey. All are welcome to come and spend some quiet reflective time with the Lord and to seek spiritual guidance. We are here to support one another on our faith journey. This is accomplished through our liturgies; Mass and penance services, our sacramental preparations, our religious education programs, faith formation of our young people, and adult education opportunities; like bible studies, book club, prayer groups and other opportunities for spiritual growth.

st. nicholas kicks off its 2019 pastoral services appeal
Dear Parishioners,
Our motivation for doing good in the world should be as a thanksgiving to the love that God has for us. Everything that we have is a gift from God and what we do with these gifts is our gift back to God. This includes how we treat others and how we share our resources.
One way that we can show our love for God and neighbor is by actively participating in the annual Pastoral Services Appeal (PSA). I wish to encourage all of our parishioners to prayerfully consider reaching out and supporting those ministries within our diocese that are not financially funded by any other source. The PSA is an opportunity to reach beyond our families and parish in order to assist the larger community in sharing the loving message of the Gospel. We have been blessed individually and as a parish, and God is inviting us to share these blessings with our brothers and sisters within our diocese who benefit from this annual appeal.
Thank you in advance for the prayerful gift that you provide for the PSA.
Fr. George
