REACHING OUT WITH SERVANT HEARTS
WELCOME TO SAINT GILBERT CATHOLIC CHURCH
The life and mission of our parish expresses itself in three areas of endeavor - liturgy and prayer, faith formation, and community-building and service. This statement of mission can be summarized in three simple words - prayer, learning, and service - because that’s what we believe the Gospel and the Church call us to as intentional followers of Christ.
We have a wonderful Catholic school, currently celebrating over 80 years and named a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. We also have a vibrant Religious Education Program, and an active Youth Ministry program serving the teens of our community. We invite you to take a moment to explore our ministries at Saint Gilbert. You may discover one that fits your time, talents or treasures now or in the future.
Our parish is proud to offer many opportunities for parishioners to come together in faith. If there is anything we can do to help you in your journey to grow closer to God, our parish clergy and staff is here to assist you as possible, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
