The Stella Maris Institute is a parish-based “house of formation” that forms adults for full stature in the faith (cf. Eph 4:13). It helps adult parishioners encounter Christ, enter into abiding communion with him, and embrace the lay apostolate. Come be surprised by Jesus and grow in your friendship with him and our parish community by saying ‘yes’ to our 2026 Fall Offerings!
We invite you to encounter Jesus in the Catholic Church and to join in our mission — a bold and daring one — of bringing His love to a hurting world. The world promises comfort, but we were not made for comfort. We were made for greatness. Encounter that greatness and share in it. Become Catholic.
Maybe you have been away from the Catholic Church for a few years, or maybe quite a few years, but now something’s tugging at your heart. Maybe it’s an ache or a curiosity. Regardless of why you drifted from the Church or intentionally stopped practicing your Catholic faith, you can always come home.
Motherhood at its heart is a ministry. You are physically or spiritually raising up the next generation for the glory of God. His glory is women fully alive! Well Read Mom is not another “add-on,” but a vital ministry, foundational to women in a burnt-out world. “You cannot give what you do not have… take care of your heart, that’s how you mother.” Join a Well Read Mom group and find fruitful, life-giving time with women from the area. You are not alone. The Lord wants to give you abundant life where you are. Join us for our first ‘come and see’ meeting on September 11, 2026!
A Bourbon & Books group of 5-8 men creates the fraternal “space” wherein men in similar walks of life grow as brothers in Christ and sons of the Father. Here, men engage with a collection of texts and, in doing so together, cultivate a community that challenges them to become who they are.
