As Catholics around the world — here at home and in the Missions — gather at the Eucharist around the table of the Lord, let us… PRAY for the Church’s worldwide missionary work OFFER financial HELP through The Society for the Propagation Of The Faith for vulnerable communities throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands.

The second Mass will be in the Columbarium at 12:05 PM. There will be a Rosary beforehand at 11:45 in the Columbarium. This Mass will be celebrated for all the souls of the faithful departed, especially from our parish. Weather permitting, of course.
