What’s Happening In Our Community?
It’s wonderful to see life coming back into our Parish. We welcome parishioners and visitors to attend our Sunday masses with no prior registration necessary, although face masks are still required. Noon masses every Friday have also commenced.
The Parish is enriched by the time and talents invested by our volunteers, and we are grateful for this gift. If you haven’t done so yet please familiarize yourself with the various groups and give a serious thought about joining them. New volunteers to bring fresh energy and new ideas are always welcomed with joy!
