Notice: We recently experienced some issues with our offertory envelopes that are mailed via USPS to many parishioner's homes. Due to this error, some families have not been receiving their monthly envelope packet and some have received duplicates. The issue has been corrected but, due to the process that is used, it could take up to 60 days to have the issue completely resolved. If you normally receive a packet of envelopes each month and have not been receiving them, expect to receive your May 2023 envelope packet as normal. Should you have any questions, please contact the parish office. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.

In every way I have shown you that by hard work of that sort we must help the weak, and keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus who himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.
