In the Event of an Emergency:
Dear Parents, Godparents and Grandparents of our children 7-12 years of age, Religious Education classes for the kids continues. If your child has received Baptism, First Holy Communion and Confirmation, we have continuing education for them to keep forming in their Faith. Bring your kids. If your child has not received Baptism, First Holy Communion or Confirmation, our classes will prepare your child for those Sacraments. Now is the time. Classes are on Sundays after the 9am Mass at 10:15am. You can register your child there. Class is in the church hall or the Conference Room. We are looking forward to helping your child grow in Our Faith! See you there!
Our Religious Education for Teens continues. If you have received all of your Sacraments, yet want to continue to study and enjoy the company of your peers, please join us to add to the learning experience. If you are not Catholic and have not received your Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation, here is your chance to come to complete that part of your Spiritual growth. Remember, if you ever want to be a Godparent, you must be a Confirmed Catholic! Classes are the usual time, 10:15 am, right after the 9 am Mass on Sunday. Come to class this Sunday to register. See you there!
All of our choirs are looking to welcome new members who want to share the gifts that God has given them.
Please, speak with any music person at the Mass you attend if you feel called to serve.
Almighty and eternal God, in your unfailing love you provide ministers for your Church. We pray for those whom you call to serve the Church as priests.
Inspire in them a generous response. Grant them courage and vision to serve your people May their lives and service call your people to respond to the presence of your Spirit among us that, faithful to the Gospel and hope of Jesus the Christ, we may: announce glad tidings to the poor proclaim liberty to captives, set prisoners free and renew the face of the earth.
