Dear Members of St. Andrew Parish,
I invite you to browse this website with a sense of pride about who we are as St. Andrew Parish. Our history goes back one hundred and thirty-six years to the efforts and sacrifices of many wonderful people who founded the parish in 1871.
In those years we have grown from the original wooden church building on the corner of West Sixth and Raspberry Sts. to the complex which exists today of two school buildings, a beautiful stone church and a large rectory. Again all of this has come about through the dedication and stewardship of our parish ancestors. We are most grateful for the work of faith which is manifest in our parish plant.
Inside this website you will see a description of many of the ministries and programs which are offered by the parish. I hope you will read this information and become part of the ministries which ask for your time and talent.
Understanding one another and our various parish needs is a real challenge. The economy, unemployment, family structure and other distractions of our modern world can become obstacles to knowing one another and our parish. I hope your commitment to stewardship will find this information valuable in giving of your time, talent and treasure for the continued growth of St. Andrew Parish and the glory and praise of God.
Your pastor,
(Msgr.) Richard J. Sullivan
