Our mission

We
currently have three parishes staffed by three Latin rite
priests,
Fr. Myron Effing, Fr.
Daniel Maurer, and Fr.
Sebastian D'Silva. As well as numerous spiritual and
charitable programs, Fr. Myron and Fr. Daniel are also
establishing a new religious community of the clergy based on
St. Augustine's Order
of Canons Regular.
