Homebound Ministry Needs You.
These ministers offer special care by bringing Communion to members ofour parish community who are sick, infirm, homebound, or elderly. We visit parishioners in their homes as well as Catholic residents of the Hebrew Home (Wasserman and Smith Kogod) for which our parish is sacramentally responsible. These ministers are sent forth from the 9:00am and 10:30 am Sunday Masses with the prayers and concern of the entire gathered assembly. A very flexible schedule and training are provided.
For more information, contact Claudia McAuliffe coordinator of homebound

Walking With Purpose Connect Coffee
Too many women feel like we’ve messed up, are beyond hope, or are too far from redemption. What keeps us from repenting and turning our hearts to Christ? Join the women of Walking with Purpose as we watch the Touching the Divine video, Jesus, Our Restorer. Together we will discover what restoration looks like in the life of a woman today. The coffee will be brewing and an open chair will be waiting for you. Join us on Tuesday, March 28 at 12:15 pm and 7:00 pm.
For more information, contact: Valerie Veise at vtveise@gmail.com
Vacation Bible School
Since our VBS director will be out on maternity leave and due to a lack of response for volunteers, Vacation Bible School is not going to take place this summer. We will be back next summer and hope to have a great set of volunteers to make it a success once more…
So save the date for June 24th-28th, 2024 and we look forward to seeing you then!

Our Lenten Series 2023
A Catholic Understanding of Sexual Difference
The theme for our Lenten series this year is “A Catholic Understanding of Sexual Difference.” The topics and speakers for each Monday Holy Hour in church starting at 7:30 p.m. will be as follows:
March 27 – Summary and Implications for Our Parish Family – Msgr. Parent
The modest goal of this series is to understand what the Catholic Church has taught about sexual difference and why it has done so. A long-term resolution of the debates over gender ideology is beyond the scope of this series.
