Ministries
The many groups and ministries here present an opportunity for such personal interaction, with like-minded people who have the service of God and the good of the parish in mind. This is one of my greatest joys, to be in the midst of a parish that is about this kind of activity. I hope that you will consider some way in which involvement at St. Bede can perhaps help to feed this part of you, as it does me. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Tim Plavac
