Parish Events

URBAN MISSION FOOD PANTRY
During the month of May, the Evangelization Team is collecting spring cleaning products. Special boxes are by the doors of the Church for your donations. The Food Pantry continues to need can openers. These may be placed in the special donation boxes also. The Team thanks you in advance for your generosity!

CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL
will be the 2nd collection at all Masses the weekend of May 27th and May 28th. Right now, over 40% of dioceses in the US are considered home missions because they are unable to fund essential pastoral work needed in their communities. Your support of this Appeal helps ease the struggle of these dioceses. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. For more information please go to www.usccb.org/home-missions.
