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 2025 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

Welcome Back Monthly Mass - February 22 at 10:30 a.m.
As we begin our Lenten observance, we hope to have people who have been away from the Church, return to Mass. In that spirit, we will have monthly Masses to encourage people who have been away for any reason, to find their way home. Please, if you know anyone who has been away, let them know that we will be happy to see them! These Masses are part of the LGBTQ Welcome committees ministry, but are meant to bring everyone back!!
Gathering of Catholic LGBTQIA+s and families and friends of Catholic LBGTQIAs - Thursday, February 19 at 6 p.m.

friends and families of the Catholic LGBTQIA+ folks. This will be a chance to talk and find support from others. The next meeting will be on Thursday, February 19 at 6 p.m. in the Church Hall. It will be a safe environment, just a place to share and listen. Our topic of this meeting will be continuing our discussion about Our Lady of the Hills Facebook page and comments made, as well as the safe environment we want to have for everyone.
