We need people to set up, work the food tables, run the craft tables, monitor the lawn games, work the information and welcoming tables, and clean up. We are also looking for any lawn games (especially corn hole) you may have and pop-up tents for shade. Please follow this link to sign up to volunteer:
Summer Mass Schedule

From July 3- September 18 we will observe a summer worship schedule. One weekend Mass only on Sundays at 10 am. It will be a Low Mass, which means there will be no choir and no incense.

During July, Father Rob+ will offer a preaching series on the liturgical architecture, ritual and ceremony, to explain the meaning behind our liturgical actions.

During August and September, we will honor the voice of women in the Church. Each sermon will feature the story of a woman in the Bible, and all of our hymns will be hymns composed by or about the female Christian experience.
