The flag in front of our Church is in memory of all veterans. It was donated by Richard Timmer.
Baptism classes are held the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm in the parish hall. Parents who wish to have a child baptized at The Church of the Visitation must contact Father Okumu and attend these classes.
Marriage: The date and time should be arranged at least 6 months before the wedding. Those waiting to be married at The Church of the Visitation must meet with Father Okumu a minimum of 5 times. Those Catholics requiring Sacraments (i.e. Confirmation) will need to fulfill those requirements, so extra time should be planned.
The Church of the Visitation is named in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her journey to see her cousin, Elizabeth, in a city of Judah as described in Luke 1:39-45. Upon Mary's arrival to the house of Zechariah, she greeted Elizabeth. Hearing the greating, Elizabeth's baby lept in her womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit; there Mary stayed for three months as they sang praises to the Lord.
The Visitation is also honored in the Rosary, celebrated in the Second Decade of the Joyful Mysteries.
