Take Another Look Do you know someone who has been away from the Catholic Church; or someone who might want information about joining the church or being baptized? Please invite them to come on Tuesday, May 8 at 7 PM in the church. We will give a brief overview of what it means to be Catholic, take a tour of the church and answer any questions that folks have.
Archbishop’s Appeal Our parish has raised $38,258.00 for the Archbishop’s Appeal. Our goal is $49,086.00, so we are still $10,828.00 short. If you haven’t made a gift, would you consider making one soon? Thank you!
Do You Like to Read? Would you consider reading one of the books in our parish library and writing a short (really very short) summary? We would like to highlight a different book or a video each week. There are a variety of topics from saints to the liturgy or sacraments and Christian living and prayer for children and adults. If you are interested in helping with this, please call Kathy at 926-1449 ext 303.
