Announcements

We have just learned that our parishioner Teodosio Dino died January 11 of this year. Please keep him in your prayers. As it seems that he was not afforded a Catholic funeral and burial we will have a Requiem Mass for him on Saturday, July 15 at 7 am.

Note for groups using classrooms: Over the next couple of weeks, things are going to be a bit tight. Classroom 2 is reserved until the Pig Roast for the rummage sale; Classroom 3 is being used as a staging ground for the camps. Therefore all activities will need to be in Classroom 1. According to the calendar there should not be any conflicts, but you may need to move from your typical room to Classroom 1. This is just a heads up.

The Fatima Procession will take place on Tues, Jun 13, after the 6 pm Mass.
