Our Church
Loving Christ, Loving Others
We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people. Our parish mission is:
To proclaim the Gospel of Christ to our local community in word, deed, and truth.
Florence Bank continues to offer a program that annually distributes $125,000 among local non-profit organizations. They call it their Annual Customers' Choice Community Grants. Any qualifying nonprofit organization that receives 50 or more customer votes receives a proportional share of the funds. Historically many non-profits have been awarded between $1,000 and $5,000. In 2024 Our Lady of the Hills Parish received $5,000 because you voted for us! Way-to-Go! The Finance Council urges parishioners to participate again on behalf of OLH by voting. Voting is available online at https://www.florencebank.com/vote
