“Thirsty for love, Jesus quenches our thirst with love. And He does with us what He did with the Samaritan woman — He comes to meet us in our daily life, He shares our thirst, He promises us living water that makes eternal life overflow within us.”

~ Pope Francis

Lenten Alms Change Lives

Each Lent, Catholic families across the country unite to put their faith into action through prayer, fasting and alms giving. Through CRS Rice Bowl, families learn about how our sisters and brothers across the globe overcome hardships like hunger and malnutrition, and how through Lenten alms, we have the power to make the world a better place for all.


Story of Hope

The changing climate has had an impact on lands in Honduras, but farmers are learning new techniques to water their crops, protect the natural resources and and keep their families healthy. Read more.

Music Ministry Updates

Our Handbell Choir has grown in size, and has been working hard to prepare to play at Mass next weekend. Our Handbell Choir will accompany the music at 4:30 pm Mass on Saturday, March 18th, as well as Sunday, March 19th at 10:30 am Mass.


Under the direction of Megan Rullo, the group typically rehearses Saturday afternoons from 2:30-3:45 for 5 weeks leading up to their performance weekend. They will reconvene again to do Christmas songs in the late fall.
