We hope this March newsletter finds you deep into your Lenten disciplines, so that we can dispose ourselves rightly before God and make space for Him.
We also have a very special day to look forward to on March 19, 2021 - The Solemnity of Saint Joseph in the Year of Saint Joseph!! Make a plan to celebrate with family, friends and the Universal Church!
