At Santa Maria de la Paz, we encourage all parishioners to deepen their faith through prayer, service, and stewardship—sharing their time, talents, and treasure to build up the life of the Church. Every presence and every act of service strengthens our shared mission and brings us closer to Christ.


As you explore our website, we invite you to discover the many ways you can connect more deeply with God, engage with our community, and serve our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Members are united in their mission to foster peace, justice, and hope for all people in this sacred region. (https://www.papalknights.org/eohs.html)

Parents, guardians, and sponsors are required to attend parish programs or classes and are encouraged to join candidates in special sessions. 


      Here at Santa Maria de la Paz, we make this easy and enriching through our Adult Religious Education program—an opportunity to grow in faith together as we guide our young people toward the fullness of the Spirit. Participation in one of these ARE program units is a requirement for all parents, guardians, and sponsors. 


      Parents and Sponsors may attend one of the various retreats held during Lent to meet the requirement. Please contact the appropriate Ministry Director for more information.
