Parish Life

Our relationship with God is not built on spiritual growth alone, but it includes giving of ourselves to the forwarding of His will.  For some, serving means volunteering their time for educating others or building community.  Others feel the calling to commit to a life of service, as a priest, deacon, or religious brother or sister.  No matter what level of service you feel God is leading you to, the Diocese of Alexandria offers you many ministries for your involvement.
