Fiscally, the parish is on solid footing thanks to the oversight of a dedicated Finance Committee who produce a balanced budget annually. Parish savings are moderate and need to grow for future sustainability.
Pastoral Leadership
Father Tom Garlick is the pastoral leader assigned in 1997 by Bishop Reilly. Under his capable leadership a number of initiatives have been successful, including special Lenten programs, missions, adult education series, the restoration of the Sacred Heart grotto, the purchase of carillon bells, the purchase of an acre of land and the establishment of new parking lots, placement of a new roof, new carpeting in the Church and hall, and successful Forward in Faith and Partners in Charity Campaigns.
Saint Richard’s Parish is a vibrant worshipping community blessed by God spiritually and financially. Now is an exciting time for us to do more!

for us now and in the future.

Church interior that we presently enjoy.
The Church and the society at large have changed dramatically in the past
fifty-four years. What
has remained, however, is the
spirit of the parish founders.
Their example is tangibly felt as we move forward with renewed
commitment, investment, and faith in the future!
