Our Lady of Light Parish

The community around Our Lady of Light Parish

It takes 10.2 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 3 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
