Happy Thanksgiving! May we all take the time to remind ourselves of all the blessings we have and give thanks to God. As St. Gianna said, "The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment, and to Thank God for what he is sending us everyday in his goodness."

Please enjoy watching this video of Fr. Matt hosting his Thanksgiving with some..."friends".

Online Giving is an easy, consistent way to donate to our parish. It eliminates writing checks and the need to use the church envelope system. This "touchless" form of giving is convenient for the donor and very useful to the parish because income is received consistently. If parishioners are unable to join us for mass, the offerings received through Online Giving are very helpful in continuing to support our mission, meeting payroll, and paying our bills. To donate, please sign-in or register on our website here.
