Our Founding Parishes

The three founding parishes of CommonPlace

Founded in 2016, the youth directors of St Andrew, St Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Mary Help of Christians gathered their young adults to form the Core Team of CommonPlace. These were the young adults that would build CommonPlace up to the ministry it is today.
Without the support of our home parishes and our youth directors we wouldn't be able to create the community we have today.

St Andrew Catholic Church

Saint Andrew Parish was founded on May 29, 1969. It was established to serve the growing Catholic community for the six-year-old city of Coral Springs, Parkland, and a portion of Broward County. Now under Monsignor Michael A. Souckar. The Parish community looks forward to many flourishing years.

St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church

On the weekend of September 13-14, 1985, the 10th anniversary of the canonization of its patron saint, the parish family of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton celebrated its first public liturgy with Father Edward Michael Kelly at Ramblewood Middle School. Much happened in the following years, and as a family, we walked together in our faith journey and celebrated many milestones. As we continue on this path under the spiritual leadership of Fr. Kelly, we do so with the faith, hope, and knowledge that "With God, all things are possible."

Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church

Mission Statement:
Like Mary our patroness, who by her maternal charity, cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on the earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into their blessed home, our parish will strive to create an oasis of peace and caring by using the tranquility of our surroundings to our advantage. We offer the Holy Spirit the proper setting to do his work, for the parishioners as well as the greater community, a place to make friends, a place to preach and live the words of Christ, a place for true Christian sharing, and a place for spiritual renewal.
