We appreciate your understanding.
October is RESPECT LIFE MONTH. The parish will be hosting a Visitation prayer service of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on October 17th from 3pm-5pm. This is one of four images in the world commissioned by the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. It is an exact replica of the original image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Come join us as we storm heaven with our prayers for LIFE, for an end of the culture of death, and the beginning of a culture where the dignity of life, born and unborn, is respected and cherished from conception to natural death.
Sponsored by St. Anthony of Padua Fraternity Secular Franciscans.

This is the group of cantors that lead the congregation in song for Sunday Masses. We are in need of one cantor for every Mass on Sunday. Rehearsals will be held once a week at each member's convenience.
While online giving is the best and easiest way to make offertory and special contributions to the parish, many thanks also to all who use the offertory envelopes for making their weekly and special contributions to the parish. If you are receiving envelopes, but do not use them, we ask that you please call the parish office so that we can cancel your envelope subscription, since each subscription costs the parish a bi-monthly fee to maintain.
Our counters have asked me to make a special plea that you not use tape to seal your envelopes. Each envelope already has glue on the flap that can be lightly moistened and that sƟll leaves the envelope easy to open. Tape makes it much more difficult for the counters to count the collections quickly and efficiently. Also, please don’t engage in “Catholic origami.” There is no need to fold currency multiple times. Unfolding is time consuming and tedious for the counters. Of course, if you are putting in a $100 bill, you may fold it as many times as you wish =)
Classes are scheduled to be IN PERSON in September. Re-Registrations and registrations for new students are due at this time as classes are filling up!
The Religious Education program is in need of the following volunteers for September, 2021-May, 2022:
