Pastoral Council Nominations, March 23-April 2
We wish to invite interested candidates from all walks of parish life to consider a term on the Pastoral Council. Please take a few moments to reflect upon your own interest and your fellow parishioners, and submit up to three individuals that you think would be good candidates for our Pastoral Council. The Pastoral Council is an advisory body that assists the pastor in assessing parish needs, provides spiritual leadership, and supports the mission of Worship, Word, and Service. Nominations can be submitted online HERE or you can use the paper forms available in the church and place them in the box by the bulletin boards. The nomination process closes April 2nd. -
Consider coming to daily Mass during the Lenten season! We have Mass every day of the week at 8:30am as usual, but we are adding a 5:30pm Mass every Tuesday of Lent. We will offer an opportunity for private reconciliation from 4:30-5:00pm prior to this liturgy. Join us to supplement your Lenten journey with a daily Mass!
