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.”
