Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church Home

Pastor's Greeting


 
Greetings my good friends,
 
Welcome to Our Lady of Refuge, truly a place of refuge to whomever crosses its threshold.
All are welcome in the spirit and love of Jesus Christ. We try our best not to judge but encounter people where they are on the journey of life.
 
We challenge people to respect one another with dignity and love. We are a multi-ethnic community where equality is supreme. All of us are faithful Catholic Christians with a great devotion to the Mother of God, Mary Most Holy.
 
Why not browse through our website, get a feel for the parish and it's ministries through its many photos and videos.
 
I would be honored to meet you at Sunday Mass, please introduce yourself and let's connect.
 
Praying for you all in peace and reconciliation.
 
Love,

In the Peace of Christ,
Fr. David Loftus, Pastor
 
 
“Every time we use religion to draw a line to keep people out, Jesus is with the people on the other side of that line.”

Christopher Carvlin and Desmond D'Sa Exemplified to Knights of Columbus 4th Degree

Mary Help of Christians Council 3052 is both pleased and honored to announce that two Brother Knights from our Council have joined the 4th Degree of the Knights of Columbus!

Brothers Christopher Carvlin and Desmond D’Sa now have the prestigious title of “Sir Knight” and are members of the Gov. Peter H. Burnett Assembly #042.

This is more than a title and a uniform. These men have chosen to embrace our Order’s fourth principle: Patriotism. They are part of a group who lead the efforts to reach out to veterans and active military and to embody the fact that one can be a faithful Catholic and also be a faithful citizen.

Please join us in both congratulating our Brother Knights and praying for their fruitful service to our Fraternal Order.
