What to Expect when you’re expecting... to participate in Synod small groups this Fall

We hope you join in this important step in shaping the future of our Archdiocese. Here’s how it will go.
  • Arrive at Presentation of Mary for a morning or evening session and find a seat at a table of about 8.
  • Watch a video which will lead everyone in prayer and share teaching on our beautiful Catholic faith to inform our discussion and response.
  • As you are comfortable, share your experience and ideas in discussion with your tablemates.
  • Respond to ideas and offer your own suggestions on a feedback form to be considered by Archbishop Hebda.

Important Information
Are you ready to harvest?

Gardens of Giving provided seed packets to our parishioners this spring to dedicate a portion of their gardens to providing fresh produce for the hungry and those in need. We are ready to begin receiving the fruits of your harvest!
        We invite anyone with excess produce from their gardens to donate as well. Baskets will be made available in the church, but if you can drop them off by Friday of each week to the parish office, we can also offer them to those in the parish who would benefit from receiving them after Masses that same weekend. The produce you’ve grown will also be taken to our shut-in parishioners, and any remaining will be given to Loaves and Fishes and to Salvation Army’s food shelf. Thank you for participating and providing others with fresh and healthy produce!

2021 Catholic Services Appeal
The 2021 Catholic Services Appeal is getting ready to roll out for this year. The 2021 theme is “Together in Hope” which is most fitting in these challenging times. This Appeal is wonderful as it reminds us that as a Christian people, we are one family in faith, who need Jesus first and foremost in our lives, as well as one another. Your participation will help support ministries that serve the poor, support life and strengthen our Faith.
