– Please join us next Sunday after the 11:00 am Mass for a simple parish BBQ in our parking lot. We look forward to meeting many of the families of the parish.
– We pray for the sanctity of Life during this month of the Holy Rosary. May we respect all life from the moment of conception until natural death. We pray for peace in our heart, family, parish, country and world.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL: Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen…St. Michael Pray for Us.
