Dear Parishioners,

We extend a heartfelt invitation to each of you to participate in our 25^th Anniversary Eucharistic Adoration program on Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27. We are encouraging individuals and families to spend 25 minutes in Adoration, and you have 25 hours to do it! Spending time in Adoration provides a sacred space for reflection, prayer, and communion with the divine. It’s a profound opportunity to deepen your spiritual connection and find solace in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Your presence is invaluable, and your commitment to this sacred practice strengthens our faith community. Whether it’s for a few moments or an hour, your presence matters. Take a picture of the QR code or click/type in the URL below to secure your 25-minute slot for Eucharistic Adoration and let us together embrace this chance for spiritual nourishment and peace. If the time slot that best suits your schedule is already booked, please still come. All parishioners are welcome and feel free to invite family and friends from neighboring churches to attend as well. Your dedication adds to the collective prayers that enrich our parish. Join us in this spiritual journey and experience the transformative power of Adoration. Blessings!

Thank you to all the CCW members who helped to make our Pumpkin Pie Bake such a success.  What an amazing turnout we had to support our local community!  From our donations to our time, we were able to successfully accomplish our goal of baking 34 pumpkin pies and making 30 dry soup jars for St. Vincent de Paul.  These items will be distributed to their clients most in need during November and for their Thanksgiving meal.  We had wonderful conversations to pass the time while working and missed our Sisters who could not be with us. 

We look forward to our next service project, which will occur during our December General Meeting, on December 12th at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.  We will have Cynthia Bennett, from Meals on Wheels, as our guest speaker and you’ll have an opportunity to participate in a service project for their clients during our meeting.  We will also celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe and enjoy a light Mexican themed meal.  This meeting will be similar to our Welcome Back Luncheon, so please keep this date reserved, look for our reminders in the newsletter and bulletin, and spread the word to all your lady friends and family.
