National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated November 7-13, 2021, is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. Please click here for more information from the USCCB. God bless all called to vocations within the church.
Have a beautiful week and please let the parish office know if there is anything we can do for you. God bless~

~ We Salute You ~
There’s no way to thank our veterans for everything they sacrificed for our freedom, but on Veterans Day, we have to try.
So, thank you to all our service men, women and their families,
both past and present, for your service and sacrifice
to keep our country safe and strong.
Click here for more pictures of our Veterans Day Celebration.
Click here for a local restaurant guide for Veterans free meals.
Also, if you were not able to attend mass this past weekend, please stop by the Parish Office for a thank you gift.
