Annual Catholic Appeal
Our Parish goal for the Annual Catholic Appeal this year is $194,000. We are going to need everyone's support to make our goal. If you have already given, thank you! If you haven't yet, your participation, regardless of the amount, will make a difference - to you, to us, and to those who benefit from your generosity.At this time we have received pledges of $108,000 from 230 donors leaving us with $86,000 still to collect. It is important to note that if we do not raise this amount through the ACA campaign we must make up the difference through our ordinary income. Remember, all donations beyond the above goal will return to our parish and be used to replace our Sanctuary floor. Our hope is that this community will show itself ready to help both the local and the larger Church. Our witness, so important, to Catholics throughout this region, relies upon each person's willingness to act as part of this community. To donate online please click here.
Eucharistic Procession This Sunday
Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Sunday, June 23rd after the 11 AM Mass
A Eucharistic Procession is a beautiful expression of our faith in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Walk with us this Sunday, singing, praying, and receiving blessings from our Lord.
"How I loved the feasts!.... I especially loved the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God!" -- St. Therese
