Lord, how good it is for us to be here -- Matthew 17

Welcome

Dear Friends,

“Lord, how good it is for us to be here.”  These words from the Gospel of Matthew are above the main entrance leading into our worship space to welcome all who come to worship and pray with the Body of Christ here at Transfiguration.  All are welcome to be here and this parish website is a reflection of this welcome.  “All are welcome” takes on a special significance as one gets to know the stories behind the ministries and programs presented described on this website.

The ministries and programs described are a powerful reminder of the diversity within Transfiguration faith community – from people to gifts.  This diversity strengthens our expression as the Body of Christ in the world and the sharing of our gifts blend together so the message of Jesus Christ comes alive as we continue our journey of faith, both here in our church buildings and out in the world.

“Lord, how good it is for us to be here” rings true here, and as the Body of Christ we bring that spirit of welcome out to our lives, and as we welcome our friends to Transfiguration.  

Our prayer is that we are always aware the gifts we share are nourished as we come together to celebrate the sacraments and live as Christ in the world today.  It is our hope that we continue to show our gratitude for our blessings by always being available to one another as we continue our great journey … as brothers and sisters.

If you are new to the parish or visiting we look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the Transfiguration faith community; we work very hard to maintain a welcoming spirit and we want you to share in this spirit.

May we continue to be blessed by each other’s love and God’s love!

In Christ's Love and Peace,

The Staff of Transfiguration

To Families with Children -

Got Kids?

Children are always welcome at Transfiguration.  We strive to make your entire family feel at home at our parish. Your child's presence at Mass is a gift to all of us, and we are grateful that you have brought them with you to Transfiguration.
 
Full, active participation comes easy for little ones, and they set an example for us all. Depending on the needs of your family we offer an enclosed chapel in the rear of the church, with floor-to-ceiling window views of the altar and speakers carrying the Mass audio. If they need to just get some wiggles out during Mass, you are always welcome to step out into the Gathering Area or spend some time in our Nursery.
 
Children are welcome to assist with the collection during church, giving them a special role in the Mass. We also offer Living Faith Kids booklets, each month during the school year there will be a new one for your child to engage with and add to their collection. Find out more about them, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, and all we offer for children HERE
