Welcome To St. Cornelius Catholic Church!
The parishioners of St. Cornelius Catholic Church invite you to come and participate in our vibrant faith community. We strive to live our lives inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ by welcoming others, offering hospitality and a sense of belonging. By empowering the Baptized to full participation in the life of the Church, we believe that we enrich the experience of our faith, and our community. Reaching out to all, we offer an inclusive, welcoming environment to grow through prayer, sacraments, and service. Inspired by the Holy Spirit we work to always offer a community that reflects Christ’s gifts of love, compassion, healing and joy. Come and see!
For those of you who have not been here before, or who attend but once in a while… a most warm welcome! We are graced by your presence, and hope our community serves the needs that brought you to us.
If you are a Catholic who for whatever reason has not been active in the Church, you might be interested in calling me to discuss aspects of the church or of our lives that have led you to some degree of alienation of the Catholic Church. Please call (562) 421-8966.
If you are not Catholic, but are interested in finding out more about Catholicism contact our rectory office.
Please remember that regardless of where you may be on your faith journey, you are always welcome to worship with us.
Make yourself at home here, and have a look around. We have many opportunities to get involved, and many ways to deepen your experience of the Catholic faith.
