Our focus with this new quarterly publication is on our parishioners and the many ways they find to serve the Lord and each other. We hope you’ll enjoy reading these stories and be inspired by them. You might learn more about a group or ministry you’ve heard about or find out about a program you missed. We’ll include regular features like Who’s in the Pews. Always, our hope is to draw us closer as a community of Catholics in Nixa.
Let us know if you have suggestions for stories or improvements by contacting one of our team members.
