END OF SUMMER SCHEDULE

It's almost here, Fall, and the start of school. And with that, we will soon be resuming our regular schedule. As of September 8, Wednesday Confession will return, as will the 8:00 pm Sunday evening Mass. Additionally, the e-newsletter is returning to weekly status as of this very email, so you can expect us in your inbox this time next week! We hope everyone had an amazing summer!

FINANCE COUNCIL MEETING

Our Finance Council plays a crucial role in the stewardship of our parish’s resources, ensuring that we are financially sound and able to support our mission. We're meeting soon to review our parish finances, discuss future planning, and ensure that our financial practices align with our values.

The Finance Council is an active ministry, and we welcome parishioners who have an interest in serving in this vital area. If you have experience in finance, budgeting, or simply a passion for helping our parish thrive, speak to Fr. Gregory about your interest!
