Are you new to St. Gerard Parish?

     We welcome you and hope that you will find not only a parish, but also a home here. For over 80 years, St. Gerard Parish has proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Catholic community of Lima and surrounding areas. We are a vibrant faith community served by the Redemptorist priests, staff and members, clubs and organizations. We look forward to your presence as we gather to pray and worship as a community.

Are you a long time parishioner?

    You can browse through the St. Gerard Parish website and catch up on the latest news about the parish in general or a special ministry you are involved with. Or maybe after reading about a particular organization, you will hear your own call to witness and serve Christ with them. Our ministries and organizations have places for many different talents and gifts  ~ yours are needed! Whatever great or small the time you can devote to our parish, you do in His name, and we are grateful for your participation.

REDEMPTORIST SPIRITUALITY CENTER

The retreats that we have had in the new Spirituality Center have gone very well.  Please click here to see some pictures from the retreats.

Our Spirituality Center was also featured in the latest issue of the Redemptorist Quarterly Newsletter.  Please here to read the article. 

 

RCIA ~ Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults:

In September, we will begin our next RCIA Process.  RCIA is for adults who have never been baptized, adults who were baptized in another Christian faith, and also for those baptized Catholic, who for whatever reason, never had the opportunity to receive their 1st Holy Communion and/or Confirmation.  For more information, please call Fr. Jim at 419-224-3080.
