Msza św. dla dzieci przystepujących do Pierwszej Komunii św. w języku angielskim odbędzie się w niedzielę 8 maja o godz. 10.00, natomiast dzieci przygotowujące się w języku polskim do Pierwszej Komunii św. przystąpią w niedzielę 15 maja o godz. 11.30. ZMIANA GODZ. MSZY ŚWIĘTEJ 8 MAJA 12:00 W związku z tym, że Pierwsza Komunia św w języku angielskim będzie w niedzielę o godz. 10:00 dlatego w tym dniu jednorazowo zmieniamy godz.
