Due to ongoing construction at our facilities, we are unable to host our beloved annual Czech Sausage Dinner this year. While we will miss gathering with all of your for this cherished tradition, we are excited to keep the spirit alive! This year, we are offering sausage and kolache pre-orders so you can still enjoy these delicious Czech favorites. We'll also be hosting a 50/50 raffle for added fun and community spirit. Keep an eye out for order forms, which are coming soon. We also invite you to join us next year in our new facilities as we celebrate the return of this wonderful event. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Death is a difficult topic to discuss for many people, but it is something we will all face one day. An intentional act of love for your family might be in the form of pre-planning your own funeral, or helping a loved one plan their funeral in advance. Details for the Vigil Service, Funeral Liturgy, and Rite of Committal could all be decided ahead of time and written down for when your loved ones need that information. We are offering an opportunity to do just that at our Funeral Planning Workshops. You will be given information to understand all the decisions needing to be made, and our Funeral Planning Team will be there to guide you through the process. There are two different times to choose from: Monday, January 13, from 2-3:30 p.m. or Tuesday, January 14, from 6:30-8 p.m. Please preregister so that we can have materials ready for you at the workshop by calling the Parish Office at (806) 655-3302 or by signing up in the narthex.
