We Miss You!

NO masks required. You may wear one or not wear one, it is all up to you.  We still have masks available if you suddenly change your mind. In other words, we miss you so please come and worship with us. We miss you!

We all wish the best for our children, right? If we do, make sure you make them aware of ALL options. It is our responsibility to let them know that exploring religious vocations is a very viable option that will lead them to a fulfilling life.
