I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE WORD OF MOUTH REFERRALS FOR BAPTISMS AND SACRAMENTS

But please encourage people to come and visit on Sunday and talk to me after Mass rather than just call the office for information. We gather best as a community around Eucharist. And PLEASE be very welcoming to new participants at Mass! Even if they are not new, and just new to you, say hello, offer to show them where the bathrooms are, tell them of our plans, introduce them to me (in case they are shy - in case I am distracted!) THANK YOU!!!

Holy Communion to the Homebound

One of the more beautiful ministries of our parish is bringing Holy Communion to the sick. One of my more difficult tasks is identifying those who need Communion brought to them. If you need a bit of help, or have a neighbor who does (after talking to her or him), please sign up below:

 If you have suggestions or questions about the preliminary site plan, I want to know! Email, call, come talk to me after Mass.
