Message from the Priests
It is our greatest desire to visit and bless people who are in the hospital or gotten sick.

Therefore, we ask that you let us know by contacting the office or our numbers right away so that we visit and offer our prayers and blessings to those who are not well.

FAMILY CENTER NEWS
We are currently at an important milestone. The leaders of the community have pledged a substantial amount to help make the Family Center a reality. Just like the time of our forefathers with the original building project who challenged us and then they matched the challenge. Now the challenge falls back to us again, the rest of the community. To have ground breaking happen after Easter, we need to all contribute...to our legacy. The challenge is up to all of us to make our pledge now or increase our pledge...within our means. If we all contribute $667 we can make ground breaking a reality very soon. Talk to your family and give now.
