TRI-PARISH VISION
In the heart of our three churches resides the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Born of Divine Life our three churches unfold
like leaves of one tree of life. Each church is unique in character, yet all are bonded in one baptismal call – becoming One Body,
professing One Faith, and living One Mission. Encircled by wheels of collaboration in building the Kingdom of God, we reach out to all
four corners of the world proclaiming by the testament of our lives the saving power of Christ’s Cross.

Meditation: Have you ever encountered a once in a
life-time opportunity you knew you could not pass
up? Such a moment came for a blind and destitute
man, named Bartimaeus. He was determined to get
near the one person who could meet his need. He
knew who Jesus was and had heard of his fame for
healing, but until now had no means of making
contact with the Son of David, a clear reference and
title for the Messiah. It took a lot of "guts" and
persistence for Bartimaeus to get the attention of
Jesus over the din of a noisy throng who crowded
around Jesus as he made his way out of town. (Written
