Welcome to Star of the Sea Parish

Welcome! We’re so glad you’ve decided to visit our website. If you haven’t yet done so, please come by the Parish Office, say hi to our Pastor, Father Augustine, and the office staff. We would love to meet you and have a chat!

Whether you are just curious about Christianity, the Catholic faith, or a Catholic new to the area, or a new parishioner, we’ll try to answer your questions.

Here at Star of the Sea Parish we seek to follow Jesus Christ and to invite others to do the same, to live by the virtue of hope found in the Gospel words of Jesus, and to live by faith based principles rooted in the New Testament.

If you are considering becoming Catholic, please inquire about our process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) which will guide you to “consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion” (RCIA 1).

Do you have Catholic children in kindergarten to grade 7 not attending our parish school? Our Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) prepares them to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist in grade 2 and Confirmation in grade 7. Please call or come by the Parish Office for more information.

Our Sunday 11am Mass in Good Shepherd Church is also streamed on our YouTube Channel, SOSParish, for those who are physically ill or have an incapacity to go to Mass.

We hope that you will find that this parish community is one you would like to belong to.

Wearing masks while in the chapel is not required, but an act of charity towards those parishioners who have concerns about the potential transmission of COVID-19.
