We are thrilled to announce that our parish has reached (and surpassed) our goal of $146,449 for the annual Catholic Services Appeal. The CSA aids our diocese in spreading the Good News and providing Christian services across our region. Because to the excellent response from our parish, and especially due a significant gift from one of our parishioners, it took only four months to reach our target. Thanks and blessings to all of our parishioners who have taken part in the CSA.

Beginning September 1st, there will be two changes to our mass schedule. Our two Sunday evening masses will be combined and become a 5:00 pm bilingual mass (emphasis on Spanish).

Our first Friday confessions will continue, but be limited to 11:30 am to 12:00 pm in order for the presider to prepare for Mass at 12:10 pm.
