Welcome to our Parish Website

On behalf of the Parish Community of Saint Veronica, I welcome you to our website.  We have some information about our parish community.  They are not as extensive, though.

I trust that you check us out physically and join us in our Masses, devotional practices and various faith strengthening spiritual activities.

Like our patroness, Saint Veronica, we strive to bear and share the face of Jesus!

Welcome and see you soon. 

With my prayers for you and your loved ones!

Rev. Peter James R. Alindogan

St. Veronica Parish Mission Statement

We, the Parish Family of Saint Veronica,
are called through Baptism to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in faith, hope and love.

We strive toward deeper conversion by active participation in the Eucharist
and by being good stewards to one another.

Through vibrant evangelization, a welcoming community and Spirit-led service
we continually challenge ourselves to bear the face of Jesus
like our patroness did as we journey together in unity,
to the glory and honor of God.
