A WELCOME FROM OUR PASTOR
The very fact that you are taking time to include us in your search means a lot to us. In many of the passages of Scripture we read that Jesus passed by and those who became aware of his presence were attracted to him. In our case it seems to be a little like the reverse. It is you who are passing by. Strangers though we may be initially, we hope that our paths will not merely cross without getting to know each other a little more. We appreciate that you want to know something about us. Eventually, we would like to know what prompted you to pause and spend some time with us. But first we want to open the door and invite you in so that we may tell you a little about ourselves.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PARISH
November 1980, this parish met for the first time as a mission church for the celebration of Mass. 455 people attended Mass in a high school cafeteria. On September 1, 1981, Rev. David Banks was assigned as our first administrator and was named pastor in 1984. The Cabrini Center was completed in August, 1986. Our current 1200 seat church was opened for the Christmas Vigil in 1990 and dedicated by Bishop John C. Favalora on February 24, 1991. In February, 1996, Father Banks was transferred, and we were blessed with Father John A. Cippel as our pastor. Father Cippel retired as pastor on June 30, 2006 although he will be active in ministry in our diocese. We are truly blessed that Bishop Lynch has appointed Father Richard Jankowski as our new pastor beginning July 1, 2006.
