Activities Committee

This lively group encourages fun and interesting activities that will maintain enthusiasm in our life as a parish community. The group organizes social activities that help us get to know each other better as well as special programs, concerts, and services to meet our spiritual and emotional needs. These events provide opportunities to invite friends and family visit Saint David’s and discover what we are about. If you are interested in brainstorming, planning activities, and carrying them out, please join this group. Email us for more information about the Activities Committee.
