Saint of the Month
De La Salle Santiago Zobel
St Solomon Le Clercq, FSC

Each month, Lynn and Brian Gough prepare a portrait of our Saint of the month.  It is displayed in the church in one of the south side shrines.  You are welcome to spend some time reflecting on the life of the Saint and praying for their intercessions.
