MASS SCHEDULE Saturday 4:00 PM Sunday 8:30 AM 11:00 AM Weekdays Please check for schedule in bulletin Sacrament of Reconciliation Saturday 3:00 PM -3:50 PM or by appointment Religious Education Grades K 8 Sunday 9:45 AM 10:45 AM Jesus wants us to understand that with God there is no such thing as a nameless, faceless individual human life. Every person lives in God s family and in His house. God knows in detail each and every aspect of our lives. And He cares, profoundly cares, about what happens to each of us. Even though at times we may feel small, worthless and of no significance whatsoever, that is not how God our Father feels about us. We are not sparrows. We are His sons and daughters, ones that God loves so much that He allowed His Son to die for us.
