Welcome to St. Mel Parish
We're Here for You
When you need help coping with the burdens of life such as the loss of a loved one, navigating life's changes or seeking financial assistance, we're ready to give you a helping hand.
We're Glad You're Here
Whether you've just moved to the area and are looking for a new spiritual home or you have been here for a while and just discovered St. Mel Parish, we look forward to meeting you!
Strengthening the Building Blocks of Society
The family is a vital element in the makeup of society, yet it is under attack on many fronts. We are a refuge and a field hospital for the family to recover and become stronger to stand firm against all the forces that come to break it down
Forging Men of Virtue
We offer opportunities and community for men to become the sons, brothers, and fathers God created us to be.
Building Up Women of Grace
Using our Blessed Mother as a model, we empower women to live lives filled with grace to nurture those around them, bolster hope in the midst of trials and inspire the virtue of magnanimity.
Setting Our Sights on Heaven
The early years in the lifelong journey of discipleship are a pivotal period in one's life. Our Faith Formation Team is eager to accompany you and your children as they set out on this journey.

Mass with Anointing of the Sick
St. Mel celebrates Mass with the Anointing of the Sick at the 5:30 p.m. Mass on the first Friday of each month.
At these Masses, we will offer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

St. Mel Stephen Ministers are parishioners who have spent fifty hours in study and training to become spiritual caregivers.
If you find yourself in need of encouragement or companionship due to a personal loss or significant change in your life, we want you to know that you are loved. You are cared for. And your parish is prepared to respond to your need.
