Colton
at the Church of St. Gall, the two churches are separate parishes but they both work together, share a website, and share a pastor which effectively makes them one parish. Guardian Angel - St. Boniface School is a parochial school that started out teaching first grade through twelfth, but in later years only had grades first through eighth. The school was eventually torn down and relocated in Colton. The school is run by both parishes in cooperation with one-another.
