Your gifts will be delivered to “the Oz” on December 18. The agency staff then wraps and tags the gifts according to each man’s needs or requests.

November Marriage Enrichment Tool:
Prayer | Couple & Individual
Prayer open us to relationship with God and to receive the grace we need to live fully alive in our marriage and family life. We certainly benefit from the prayers of others, but most profoundly, when we pray individually or as a couple for our own marriage. Start today, praying daily for a specific grace for your marriage. You’ll be surprised by what God will do. He is never outdone in generosity.
To Dive Deeper and for more tips and tools,
Rosary Every Friday
Join us in praying the rosary after the 8:35am Friday Mass.
Can't make it, but want us to pray for your intentions?
