The continued support of parishioners is a wonderful sign of your Stewardship and has never been more important. Major repairs and restoration projects are underway and very costly to fund. Please consider us as you prepare or update your estate and financial plans. A modest gift by way of bequest, insurance or tangible assets can make a substantial difference to the future of our church.

MARRIAGE TIP OF THE MONTH At the Synod in Rome, which wrapped up its deliberations on October 19th, Pope Francis and more than 200 delegates discussed in details the challenges faced by families in the world today. In their discussions they reminded us that we are not alone, that God is with us as we journey. Taking this message seriously can have a positive impact on your married relationship-attending Mass as a couple, praying together and even joining in parish events have proven benefits in producing happier marriages.
