Our Clergy

A priest is a man, taken from among men, who is consecrated by God for the sacred action of sanctification.  The Catholic Priesthood was instituted by Christ at the Last Supper as a means by which those men whom He calls to stand in His place carry on His ministry in the world, through His Church. Pope Saint John Paul II once said that “A priest is a man who offers his whole humanity to God so that God might use him as an instrument of salvation.”  God ordains the man to serve, as Christ came to serve, and to lead people to their greatest good, heaven.  The priest does this in many ways, but the dignity and essence of the ordained priesthood resides not first in what he does, but in who he is: An Icon of Christ in the World.

If you are interested in becoming a priest, please contact Fr Eric Ritter, Pastor.

We are blessed to have two priests who serve our parish, with four (4) daily Masses, (7) Masses for Sunday and over 6,000 parishioners and over 50 Ministries and Organizations. Please keep our clergy in your prayers. To contact them, please click on the the appropriate section.
