Welcome to St. Irene - We've saved a place for you!
We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people.
NOTE: Due to the renovation of the church, Masses are being held in our former church (ACL/ACU)



Welcome home.
The Christ at Our Center renovation is nearly complete, and we look forward to welcoming you back for the Easter Triduum:
Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the liturgies of Easter.
Our church has been improved with a new crucifix, the relocation of our tabernacle to the altar, the addition of kneelers, new carpet and flooring, improved sound systems and more.
Through the generosity of our parishioners, we raised all the funds necessary to complete this project in less than three months.
Thank you!
