Hebrews!!
The Parish is incredibly proud to launch our brand new coffee van, Hebrews! This exciting addition will be serving delicious coffee during the weekend masses at Stella Maris and at other major parish events. Hebrews not only aims to bring our community together over a warm cup, but also to enhance our gatherings with a touch of comfort and hospitality. We are currently seeking volunteers with barista skills to help us make Hebrews a success. If you have experience in making coffee and a heart for service, we would love to have you join our team. Many hands make light work. Thank you to those special people who made this all possible. Please contact the parish office to volunteer.
