Pastor's Message
In our culture we have an abundance. We have so many things at our disposal that it can be hard to know what to pay attention to.

Our Biggest Fundraiser!
Every 2 years, we have an Auction that raises a huge amount of money. It’s simply not possible during Pandemic. Our Auction Chairs and team have worked tirelessly to put together a “Day of Giving” to help replenish the funds that have taken a hit in order to get our school and church physically ready for in person attendance.
Will you please help us to meet our fundraising goal by purchasing a wine bundle, raffle tickets or making a straight tax deductible donation?

Third Sunday of Easter
In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus explains that the meaning of the scriptures. Like the disciples, when we offer and receive forgiveness our hearts burn because we encounter the risen Christ within us. Have you considered answering the call to "help the poor find forgiveness and healing in their life" by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? We would love to have you join.
