There is something very special about belonging to Saint Kenneth in Plymouth - it is our spiritual home: a safe haven to experience God's love on our journey in life. For more than half a century people have called Saint Kenneth their church community. In the past five decades we have witnessed much change in the universal Church and in our Saint Kenneth Community: six popes, four archbishops, five pastors, three worship sites - but the people of this community have created that special place where individuals and families feel "welcomed and accepted." In God's house, everyone is important and precious! The leaders of the church will come and go; the leaders of this parish community and its priests will come and go; what must remain and endure is the ability of each person in our community to reflect the power and presence of Christ to and for one another.

As a spiritual home, our parish cannot accomplish everything - but we can cooperate with the Master in building a safe environment where people feel "welcomed and accepted." This website is designed to help you know a little bit about our community and what we offer.

Archbishop John Cardinal Dearden once eloquently wrote, "Nothing we do is complete. This is another way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us. No sermon says all that should be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No pastoral visit brings wholeness. No program accomplishes the church's mission. No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in that. This enables us to do something and do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, and the opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest. We may not see the end results, but that is the difference between the Master Builder and the worker. We are workers, not Master Builders...ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future that is not our own."

It is my hope, wish, and prayer that you will want to join our community and call Saint Kenneth "home" and give the opportunity "for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest,"
