“Sanctify those that love the beauty of Thy house. Glorify them in return by Thy divine power.” - from the prayer behind ambo at the end of liturgy

Big Thank You to everyone already signed up to help!!!

Many hands make light work:-) I would like every one in the parish to sign up, individually or as a family, to help clean the temple for 15 mins after liturgy on a rotational basis every Sunday throughout the year. Please sign up today at link below!

It is very important we keep our temple beautiful in order to glorify God and to welcome parishioners and guests into a beautiful worship space. Click here to reserve your Sunday Cleaning Ministry spot today!
