Holidays & Family
The holidays are coming and for many, that means spending time with family. For some, that's a blessing...for others, it's less than ideal.
Licensed mental health professional Courtney Sherman will provide us with some helpful tips and tools for any holiday family get-together.
Please join us!
You're Invited!
On November 7th, we will remember all our parishioners (and any family members we were made aware of) who passed away over the last year.
The evening will begin with 5p Mass on Sunday and continue with a potluck supper in Parish Hall. The Knights of Columbus have generously agreed to provide the protein for dinner, and all attending are asked to bring a dish, according to last name (see flyer below).
We encourage you to bring photos of your deceased family members to display in Parish Hall. Everyone is invited to attend this celebration of life!
