St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Parish in Kingwood, Preston County, West Virginia, is a vibrant and welcoming community rooted in the tradition of the Roman Catholic faith. Nestled in the picturesque countryside of the Appalachian Mountains, our parish serves a diverse and growing population of faithful individuals and families who come together to worship, pray, and serve God.
Founded in the early 20th century, St. Sebastian Parish has a rich history of serving the spiritual needs of the local community. Over the years, our parish has grown and evolved, adapting to the changing needs of our congregation while remaining steadfast in our commitment to spreading the Gospel message of love, compassion, and service.
At the heart of our parish life is the celebration of the Eucharist, where we gather to receive the body and blood of Christ, renew our faith, and strengthen our bonds of fellowship with one another. Our liturgies are marked by reverence, beauty, and a sense of sacredness that reflect our deep reverence for the presence of Christ in the sacraments.
In addition to our worship, St. Sebastian Parish is actively involved in a variety of ministries and outreach programs that provide opportunities for our members to put their faith into action. From feeding the hungry to comforting the sick, from educating our youth to caring for the elderly, our parishioners are committed to serving others with love and compassion, following the example of Christ who came not to be served, but to serve.
Our parish is also home to a vibrant community of faith formation programs, including religious education classes for children and adults, Bible studies, prayer groups, and retreats. We believe that lifelong learning and spiritual growth are essential for deepening our relationship with God and our understanding of the teachings of the Church.
As a community of faith, St. Sebastian Parish is dedicated to building relationships, fostering a sense of belonging and unity among our members, and reaching out to those in need with the love of Christ. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all are invited to encounter the grace and mercy of God, regardless of their background or circumstances.
In all that we do, we are guided by our mission to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, to foster a sense of community and fellowship among our members, and to live out our faith in service to others. We invite you to join us in worship, prayer, and service as we continue to grow in faith and love as a parish community in Kingwood, West Virginia.
