Please attend Mass this weekend 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 November: "Kindness" Jesus came with a new commandment, "Love one another as God loves you."  This love we have from God is shown to others through our kindness.  As we treat others at home and school kindly, we obey God's command.

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.
