Baptism

Please welcome in baptism Ivy Everett Thomas, daughter of Dave and Karen Abegglen. Congratulations!

Missionary Priest

Thank you for the generous hospitality and support given to Fr. Venance from the Diocese of Kigoma, Tanzania, who shared with us about the needs of the missions. Please remember him & his diocese/religious order in your prayers. It is very noble to desire to give ongoing support to a missionary; however, each missionary that comes to our parish needs our help. Therefore, please help support the larger missionary needs of the universal Catholic Church by supporting the different missionary dioceses or orders who give appeals in our parish each year and by supporting all the dioceses & parishes who cannot even afford to send a missionary to this country by supporting the World Mission Sunday on the third Sunday of October.

We have exciting news! The old playground surface has been removed and a new surface poured. We now need to install the mats for our playground to be ready for the kids when they start school in two weeks. We need lots of help to get it done. It is a fairly simple job. The only qualifications you need to help is to be able to follow directions and have a can-do attitude! Students (5^th-8^th grade) can earn service hours by carrying the tiles from the pallets to the high school students and adults who will be laying them. Please consider sharing your time and talents for our school/community playground! To sign up to help, click
