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 2022 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

FORMED.org - Faith Formation
Our Faith Formation program is proud to offer FORMED to our parishioners. You can get thousands of enriching Catholic movies, programs, audio and E-books instantly on FORMED, when you sign up with your parish. It is free. To sign up: visit signup.formed.org and enter your parish zip code or name.
Adult Faith Formation
Starting Monday, December 2nd, we will be offering the Symbolon series at 6:00 pm on the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month through next Spring. Since we have two OCIA candidates, this will be in conjunction with that program. This is a great opportunity for the new eyes of our candidates to meet the eyes of us “cradle” or long time Catholics to learn about the rich history, core teachings, and spiritual practices of our Faith. If you know anyone who is considering the path to becoming Catholic or someone who never finished their Initiation Sacraments (1st Communion, Confirmation) and would like the opportunity, please invite them to join us or reach out for more information. There is printed information on the table in the back and near the side door entrance of the Church.
LGBTQ+ Welcoming Committee
The LGBTQ+ Catholics Welcome Committee will have its monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month in the Parish Hall of Our Lady of the Hills in Haydenville. We will continue our discussion of what our group can do to make our parishes a welcoming place for LGBTQ+ folks. We will be hanging out new Welcoming Banner in early November. We invite any LGBTQ+ Catholics, their family members, and allies of the LGBTQ+ Catholic community to join us. If you have questions, please send an email to loudebou@aol.com or call 413-586-7966 and leave a message.
The Committee donated a beautiful and colorful new welcome banner for the Church. It is displayed on the ramp of the church.
