Our reliance on contributions from the pew, which has served us so well in the past, today has the potential for a catastrophic impact on vulnerable churches and communities that rely on support from our annual appeals.  Consider mailing in your second collections and/or special collections.  Here are a few that are coming up: 

•  November 22:  Catholic Campaign for Human Development
• November 29:  Mission Appeal Collection
• December 13: Retirement Fund for Religious/Catholic University

Parishioners can join us by reserving a spot each Sunday and Tuesday in November.                                                                     Sunday Mass is at 8:00 am

Tuesday Mass is at 5:30 pm

For the week on Thanksgiving:  

November 24 8:30 AM 

November 25 5:30 PM Thanksgiving Mass

We ask that you call the Parish Office at 482-6818 to reserve your spot.

• Sunday still remains the Lord's Holy Day during this time of turbulence.  Take time to view Mass on TV or online, read the Scriptures, attend to daily prayer, pray as a family, spend time with the Rosary and/or the divine Mercy Chaplet.
