Complete Our Parish 2020 Census!
You're Important!
Please Be Counted!
It has been 9 years (in 2011) since our Church conducted a census of our Parish Family! And...as it has most unfortunately happened, because of a recent technology issue with our now former Office computer, our electronic copy of the Parish Census 2011 information was "lost" & could not be retrieved. So, this 2020 update is much needed for more than one reason!
Please click here or on the above link, "Parish Census 2020" to read more & access the Parish's current census form.
Be sure to complete the Parish Census Form 2020 & return it to the Parish Office right away!
Be Counted! Thanks!! -
"A Message from Bishop Mark: Wear a Mask in Church!"
"... The care we have for ourselves and for the well-being and safety of others is found in Sacred Scripture... We are responsible for each other... Wearing a face mask is a way in which we can love ourselves, since it is for our individual protection. Wearing a face mask is a way in which we can love our neighbors, so that an invisible virus is not spread from one to another. And remember, there are lots of people who have COVID-19, but they don’t have any symptoms; they don’t know that they have it. --- I AM REPEATING MY PERSONAL APPEAL TO ALL OF YOU TO USE A FACE MASK WHEN YOU ATTEND MASS AND OTHER PARISH GATHERINGS..." --- Click here to read the Bishop's entire message in our "News" section, July 1, 2020.
