Our Parish Thank You ~

Thank you to all who attended our Christmas Masses in person or online. But as Fr. Mark said, Christmas is everyday in our hearts.

Our Parish Ministries ~

Prayer Blankets Share a Prayer with someone you love. During this joyous time of the year, some of us have the pain of a loss, depression, illness or fear. Made in prayer and love, they are available in the narthex. May they bring them comfort, warmth or a smile. We invite you to take one for yourself or to share, always assured of our prayers and support throughout the holiday season and beyond.
