Missing CD

We are missing CD disk #6 of our GATHER series music. It was lent out to someone who wanted to practice some of the songs. We would really appreciate its return now that we have a new Liturgy Director. Please look through your music at home to see if you may have it. Please return it to the Parish Office, no questions asked.

Please arrive at Mass on Time!

The doors to the church are locked 5 minutes before Mass begins due to our COVID-19 cleaning protocol. Please be on time for Mass or you will not be allowed in the building.
Fr. Raul Email Scam

Once again the Father Raul email scam has reared its head. Father will never contact you by email or other means to ask you to buy him anything or to do him a "favor." If you receive one of these emails, please delete it.
