We will be returning to our regular weekend Mass schedule for the Fall season the weekend of September 4/5. Upon reflection, everyone readily can see that we all fit nicely into the churches for the three Masses. These numbers will have an effect in our journey to become one parish in 34 months and how we will sustain the parishes for the future. Those of you who chose to worship elsewhere during the summer because you did not like or agree with the schedule, did not help the cause to sustain the parishes as they are.
We would like to welcome Floyd Butler, Kathleen Marzec, and Mark & Michelle Rogers and their children, Darren & Olivia, who have come to join our parish

Have you thought about the fact that God may be calling you to become a catholic? Have you been searching for meaning in your life? Is there something missing? Do you need to have another direction for your life’s journey? To help find the answer to these questions, you may want to consider entering the “Process of Christian Initiation.” This process will formally begin on Monday, October 4 at 7:00 pm in the Holy Name Hall.
Time of Inquiry: A time when you feel a “tug” in your heart that God is gently nudging you in this direction. This is a time to seek, ask, question and find out if this is the direction for you life right now.
Who is this process for?: If you have never been baptized, or were baptized in another religion other than Catholic or were baptized Catholic and never received any other sacraments, then this is the process for you.
When do we meet?: Every Monday evening. If you would like to sign up or have any questions, call Fr. Dennis.
