Join us the weekends of August 12 & 13 and August 19 & 20 as we celebrate Stewardship at our Ministry Fair. On these very special weekends we reflect on all God's blessings and make a decision as to what our gift will be in return for all that God has bestowed on us. Please plan on stopping by the Ministry Fair in the Parish Hall to see how you can share your time and talent as a member of our parish community. Your active participation in our parish community is vital to the life of the church.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a rite of the Catholic Church for unbaptized persons, baptized persons from another Christian tradition, or for baptized Catholics who were never catechized who wish to become Catholic through receiving Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. If you are someone who fits this or a similar description, we invite you to come to one of our "Come and See" nights to learn more about becoming a Catholic Christian or completing the Sacraments of Initiation! Join us this Wednesday, August 30, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Meeting Room B for the last "Come and See Night" before we begin our RCIA sessions!

Our parish Lost & Found has become quite the popular place! If you are missing anything that you think might have been left in the church or the Parish Hall, please come by the office during business hours before Wednesday, August 64. All unclaimed items will be donated.
