It was a humble beginning for St. Andrew the Apostle Parish. Daily Mass was celebrated in a small house on North Brighton. But those original 46 families represented good soil, and that tiny seed has become a vibrant and thriving parish. Today St. Andrew's has nearly 1,500 registered families with more registering every week. Families are moving to St. Andrew's because we are unapologetically Catholic in our mission and courageous in our proclamation of the truth. Our bold, faithful, and reverent celebration of the sacraments, our acclaimed youth program and growing school, and our visible love of our sacrame faith and of our Eucharistic Lord have become beacons of light in dark and challenging times. With so many already drawn to this light of faith and so many more seeking the true spirit of Catholicism exemplified at St. Andrew's, the time has come to sow our own seed on good soil.

Restoring the Sacred. Building The Future
O glorious Saint Andrew, you were the first to be called by our Lord, and with courageous love you died a martyr's death and offered your life's blood to build the Kingdom. Stir in our hearts a desire to save souls and to do all things for the glory of God. We commend to your powerful intercession our longing to constuct a magnificent house of God. May it be a sacred dwelling worthy of His presence, which will inspire many souls to follow Christ with your same passion and sacrifice. Replace our worldly fears with trust and courageous love, that God's grace may inspire generosity with the gifts He has given us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
