Welcome to our Parish Website

On behalf of the Parish Community of Saint Veronica, I warmly welcome you to our website. We are glad you are here. While this site offers a glimpse into our parish life, it can only hint at the faith, prayer, and fellowship that truly come alive when we gather together.

I invite you to visit us in person and join our parish family for Mass, devotional prayer, and the many opportunities we offer to grow in faith and community. Whether you are new to the area, returning to the Church, or simply searching, you are always welcome here.

Inspired by our patroness, Saint Veronica, we strive to bear and share the face of Jesus through compassion, service, and love for one another.

We look forward to welcoming you soon. Please know that you and your loved ones are remembered in our prayers.

With every blessing,

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.
