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 time you can devote to our parish, you do in His name, and we are grateful for your participation.

Trusting the Unseen:

A gardener planted two peony bulbs side by side.  In a few weeks, as expected, the first one poked a single stem through the ground.  The other would soon follow, the gardener thought.  But it didn't.  Many more weeks went by with no sign of life.

Then one day, to his surprise, not one but five leaf points poked through the soil at once.  When the peony bloomed, its flowers were more beautiful and numerous than those of the first bulb.

John Piper said, "In every situation God is doing a thousand things that we cannot see and do not know."  When God seems to have forgotten you and hope fails, don't despair.  God is at work, and someday you will see.
