 Christmas Good Wishes I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Church Families peace of mind, peace of soul, and peace of heart during this Christmas time.  May your homes be happy and peaceful places, and may our loving savior find a warm welcome in our hearts and souls during this special time of year.  Merry Happy Christmas to all! – Fr. Ruane

 

Sincere Gratitude I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Choir, Lectors, Eucharist Ministers, Mass Servers, those who decorated our church so beautifully and anybody who helped in any way to prepare for the Birthday Mass, in honor of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

                                

Sincere Gratitude I would like to thank our church family members, each and everyone who remembered me with a gift. Some large and some small, but each gift was greatly appreciated. I will try to thank you each individually. I cherish your goodness and kindness and pray God will bless all of us in 2013.

Choose Life  Mary knew the trials and tribulations of an unplanned pregnancy, but she also knew that the baby growing inside her was a gift from God. All pregnancies are gifts from God that should never be returned unopened.
