Greetings!
Well, another week has passed and we are getting closer to our parish picnic! Everyone is so excited! It is great to see our parish come together to ensure we have the best picnic ever! We have so many upcoming events to be able to reconnect with old friends and the chance to make new ones!
Also, it is great to see the kids back in school! They have a week under their belts already-and it's a joy to see their smiling faces back!
Have a great weekend, and please let us know if we can assist you in any way. God Bless~

Haiti Earthquake Disaster Relief |
On August 14, 2021, a 7.2 earthquake struck Haiti killing an estimated 2,207 & damaging at least 136,800 buildings. It is the deadliest earthquake & deadliest natural disaster of 2021, it is the worst disaster to strike Haiti since the 2010 earthquake. UNICEF estimates more than half a million children were affected. It caused immense damage and resulted in a substantial loss of life on an island already challenged by social unrest and still rebuilding after a major 2010 earthquake. Tropical Storm Grace followed adding devastation to an already reeling population. As a result of both disasters many Church properties, along with homes and businesses, have been severely damaged or destroyed. The impact will be long-lasting.
Most Reverend José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles, President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, suggests to respond as a unified Church and take up a voluntary special collection for the humanitarian, long-term recovery, and significant Church needs arising from these calamities.
The funds collected in this special appeal will become part of the Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund and used as they and their local agencies respond to immediate emergency needs and aid in long-term rebuilding and recovery efforts to the earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace calamities in Haiti and any other disasters that occur and will be distributed where they are most needed.
We will take our collections during all masses September 18th & September 19th.
