Our Parish History
Our Lady of the Snow Parish was established in 2006. For its first two years, the faithful gathered for Holy Mass at Loretto Heights Chapel. Through the loving providence of God and the intercession of our Blessed Mother, the parish found the church that has been its spiritual home ever since.
On August 5, 2008, the Feast of Our Lady of the Snow, our church was solemnly blessed by His Excellency Bishop Mark Pivarunas, CMRI.
We give thanks to Almighty God for the priests, religious, benefactors, and faithful parishioners whose sacrifices and devotion have helped our parish flourish, and for the maternal care of Our Lady of the Snow from its beginning.

Holy Communion may only be received by Catholics who observe the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church, are in the state of sanctifying grace, and have completed a three-hour fast. Visitors with questions about receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to speak with a priest before Mass.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly, and I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the same Son Jesus Christ, present in all the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all the sacrileges, outrages and indifferences by which He Himself is offended. And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
