Please join us for a Candlelight Memorial Service sponsored by the Bereavement Committee to honor those in our parish or our families who have died.

A reception will follow to share our remembrances and to find comfort and fellowship with one another. This is a wonderful way to remember and honor our family and friends who have died, and to find Christ s comfort and strength within our loving community of Faith. Hope to see you there.

NATIONAL VOCATIONS AWARENESS WEEK As Catholics, we firmly believe that God has a plan for our lives. He calls some to marriage, some as generous single people, some to the priesthood, and others to religious life. During National Vocation Awareness Week, please pray about how God is calling you to live your vocation more deeply. Encourage the young people in your life, children, grandchildren, students, and friends to be open if God calls them to the priesthood, diaconate or consecrated life.
