ANNOUNCEMENTS
Check out the Christmas page!
Something new and exciting is happening this Christmas season! Bishop Parkes has recorded a few advertisements that are now airing on tv inviting people to join us for Christmas Mass! To supplement this invitation, our website has been updated with a new Christmas page so that anyone looking for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Mass times can now easily find them for all the parishes in our diocese! The website also includes information about how to go to confession and the new Mass responses for those who haven't been to Mass in a while. To check out the page, click here.
