What is the Rescue Project?
Simply put, an experience of the gospel surrounded by food, conversation and prayer. The Rescue Project seeks to proclaim the gospel in a compelling and attractive way over eight weeks in a small group format. This experience is imbued with beauty, authentic humanity, and accompaniment.
Why Rescue?
We passionately believe that the most urgent task is the compelling proclamation of the gospel, one that offers people a way of seeing reality, and of making sense of the world, history, and life that is vastly different from the story our modern culture tells.
Until this happens, the Christian faith is often experienced as a mere set of rules and disciplines, and simply going to Church isn’t likely to lead us to embark on the great adventure that is following Jesus and continuing His mission of the rescuing of this world.
Who is the Rescue Project for?
The Rescue Project is for anyone and everyone—from lifelong disciples to those who are just beginning to explore who Jesus is. Invite a friend! You never know how God might use your invitation to draw someone closer to Christ.
What goes on at the Rescue Project?
Fellowship and dinner, worship led by Brooks Bradley, Fr. John Riccardo’s compelling video, facilitated small group discussion, and prayer.

Volunteers Needed
We're looking for volunteers to help with hospitality, food, IT, setup, and teardown. If you've been blessed by the Rescue Project before, consider lending a hand so more people can experience it this year! We'll be hosting a volunteer meeting on Saturday, August 15, immediately following the 8:00 AM Mass. We'll share more about the Rescue Project, discuss volunteer opportunities, and answer any questions you may have.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer but are unable to attend the meeting, please contact Mariano Sastre at

A Parishioner's Experience...
I’ve been in church most of my adult life and the Rescue Project hit me like a lightning bolt. For the first time, I saw my life as part of a mission and started to understand the “so what” of my faith. The Rescue Project is for everyone. Plus, it’s just a really great time. Fr. John is so engaging and dinner and drinks are provided. Join us for the Rescue Project and you’ll walk away with more clarity, conviction, and community than you thought possible. – Kyle W.
