History & Founding

Serving the growing Catholic population of northwestern Broward County, the parish has developed over more than five decades into a full campus that includes a church, a parish school, and space for community gatherings. A former pastor initiated plans to renovate and extend the church building, and the parish's signature annual festival has long been a major fundraiser supporting music concerts, the school, youth programs, and outreach to those in need.
