-Fr. John Williamson
Humbled by God’s mercy, we seek to follow Christ and live the joy of the Gospel through love and service.—Mission Statement
It’s been a busy & full year on our campuses. If only there was room to list everything we’ve en-joyed! The top votes went to: Italian Winterfest*, Lenten Tea, Bible Studies with Fr. John, Holy Week Mission Saturday, the Pentecost Party, the Parish Picnic, the Tailgate Party, Trunk or Treat, Veteran's Day Luncheon, Knights of Columbus Dinner/Dance, Oktoberfest, Paint Night, Alpha, MLK Day of Service, Family Game Night, Advent by Candlelight, & Gingerbread House Making. One parishioner had a favorite that wasn’t an event at all: Fr. John’s Video Blog:
Here’s a few more quotes shared with us: The Veteran’s lunch: “
In the past 12 months, CCASTA has made a lot of
great memories with our parishioners and school.
We asked a few people to share with us some
choice memories from 2017. Do you have one?
