Parish Life
A community that’s here to worship, proclaim the Gospel, and serve our neighbors.
Worship. Evangelization. Service. These three are at the heart of parish ministry, the primary reasons why a parish exists.
- Bishop Edward Malesic, A Flourishing Apostolic Church
What is parish life like at the Avon Catholic Community?
It’s vibrant. It’s prayerful. It’s real.
Here you’ll find a faithful, welcoming community rooted in the Eucharist and devoted to living the Gospel with joy. Whether you’ve just moved to Avon, are returning after time away, or have been here your whole life, there is a place for you here.
Worship & Sacraments
Everything flows from the Eucharist. Our parish life is centered on the celebration of Mass, where we encounter Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
We offer:
Sunday, Saturday (Vigil), and weekday Masses
Regular opportunities for Confession
Eucharistic Adoration at both Holy Trinity and St. Mary
The faithful celebration of the Sacraments: Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, and Anointing of the Sick
We walk alongside families preparing their children for the Sacraments and accompany adults seeking to enter the Church through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).
