Parish Story

Precious Blood Parish was dedicated under the auspices of Bishop Francis R. Cotton on September 5, 1960. Throughout its history, the parish has been known for its strong commitments to Christian formation and liturgical renewal, and a simple acceptance of each person who comes to our doors.

Precious Blood Parish is a community of 450 households, a majority of which are young families. A variety of service, social and music organizations provide many opportunities for active parish involvement. Our parish is a warm and welcoming place, where newcomers are easily included. The Sunday Eucharist is the highlight of our week, and an atmosphere of prayerful attentiveness is our goal. Our worship together is the heart of our community experience, and we give much careful attention to how we carry it out. After liturgy, our warm community spirit is evident in those who linger for conversation and friendship.
