Our parish is in great need of faithful men, women and youth to serve as ushers at the English Sunday Masses. Ushers offer the people who come to church a sense of welcome and belonging. They also assist with the collection of offerings and enhance the reverence of the Mass. If you want to serve the Lord in this pleasant ministry, please leave your name and number at the parish office or speak to one of our priests.
We are happy to report that, to date, 185 parishioners have pledged a total of $64,107 to the Annual Catholic Appeal, of which $56,341 have already been collected.
