Parish History

Vision for the Future

The community of St. Nicholas, under the guidance of its pastor, Father Jun, confidently looks to the future full of trust in the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. We as a community seek to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and to shine forth his light to others.

We seek to evangelize both inside our Church and without. We seek to build and foster families, the domestic Church, and the whole parish through small faith groups, a vibrant sacramental life, and community building activities.

We also plan to revitalize our physical worship space through exterior and interior reconstruction projects so that we may more deeply enter into liturgy, prayer, and community.

During this year of mercy invite everyone, within the parish and without, to allow Christ’s love to permeate their lives. Wherever you are in your journey we invite you to join us.

Fr. Jun, Staff and the Building Repair committee are working with architects on the design and construction plans for wall repairs and Vestibule renovations. Click here to view pictures and find out more about the project timeline.

1963
