with your Parish Priest. "I, the Lord, am with you always, until the end
of the world, alleluia." Matthew 28:20
Virtue for the Month of December:
"Joy" As believers in Christ, we have the gift of true joy. This is a feeling of complete happiness that
comes from knowing that our God loves us, that we belong to a family of
believers, and that our heavenly home awaits us all.
Please use extra caution and drive slowly in the parking lots,
especially at the archway. Let's keep
our kids safe! Thank you, Fr. Jim.

are cleaned daily but, please be mindful and pick up after yourself. This area
is intended as a place of prayer and quiet contemplation. Use by groups must be scheduled through the
Parish office. It is not intended to be
a waiting area for unattended children.
