IMPORTANT NEWS
If you recall in April 2022, Archbishop Etienne talked about the immediate and long-term challenges facing our parishes and the archdiocese, including the shortage of priests. He writes, "This sobering reality means we must engage the "great flexibility" envisioned by the Holy Father, and the life of our parishes must take on "different contours". This led to the need for a new strategic plan and direction called "Partners in the Gospel". This will have significant implications for our own parish. 
 
We now have more information regarding the process. Please join us after each Mass the weekend of January 21st and 22nd in the gym where an introductory video will be shared. We anticipate the presentation to be about 30 minutes. We strongly encourage parishioners to attend and learn more. Please share and invite others to join. Childcare with supervision will be provided after the 11 AM Mass.
NO FEBRUARY SUNDAY ENVELOPES WILL BE MAILED OUT

The company that supplies our Sunday envelopes, Church Budget Envelope Company, has let us know that due to supply chain and staffing issues, they will be unable to mail February Sunday envelopes. Envelopes will be delivered by the first Sunday of March for March.

Please feel free to mail your contribution, drop your contribution by the parish office, or to use the envelopes in the pews. If you need your parish id/envelope number, please feel free to call the parish office.
