"Come gather us in"

Starts September 13th: An exciting spiritual opportunity is coming to us: a Redemptorist Mission for our cluster's parishes entitled "Come gather us in." The mission complements the goals and objectives of Disciples in Mission, and presents an opportunity for our parishioners to experience spiritual services, sermons and sacraments that focus on the major themes of our Catholic faith.

The Redemptorist priests leading us in the mission possess a rich legacy of preaching redemption: what Christ has done to set us free from the evils of sin. This will be a time of great grace for all, an occasion of healing, conversion, and reconciliation for our parishes and our people. Calendar of Events for the Mission

Our Mission Prayer

God of all, we ask you to bless our Cluster Mission. We give you thanks for the many blessings you have given to us. Through this mission we pray that your life is increased within us. Send forth your spirit to renew our Community in faith, hope and love. May we hear your call and praise you forever. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen

Please say this prayer often for the success of the Mission and renewal of our parishes.

Formerly three parishes, now two parishes in one community in Jesus, Our Lord

Christ the Divine Mercy Parish was formed in 2007 from St. Martin of Tours and St. Peter's parishes.  The parish still uses both worship sites, and respects the special character of each community. With St. Benedict Parish, the two parishes are now one "cluster," sharing the same Pastor and many of the same resources.
