| Help us to keep spreading the word about our Parish Mission which will be held on September 27- October 1. Services will be at 6:30PM each evening, with food and fellowship following each service. Invite your friends and neighbors, and offer a ride to folks who cannot drive themselves. Have you given us names of folks who have not practiced their faith for a while or have expressed interest in the Catholic faith? Click here to download the form, or pick up a copy at the entrances of church. We have also prepared a brochure with more information about the Mission. Click here to download the brochure. Finally, keep checking our Mission Webpage and our Twitter Page for more information. |
