HOSPITAL VISITATION – Please call us at the rectory if you or a member of your family is in the hospital in Grenada or elsewhere.

CHOOSE LIFE – With assisted suicide, as with abortion, there are compassionate alternatives to the killing choice. Those facing death are entitled to adequate pain management, palliative care, and a community of support to assist them in the final stages of life.

 

“Why Do We Have National Collections?”  The most Rev. William S. Skylstad, President of the U.S. Conference of Bishops, says: “each parish is part of the Church Universal. The Bishops of the United States created the national collections so that, by combining resources, we can more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each of these important collections is worthy of our support and represents our community of faith at work in the world, saving souls and improving lives. The national collections offer us an opportunity to help our neighbors in the light of the Gospel and of stewardship and sharing. God has given us our life and our prosperity. It is right just that we give something back through these collections, helping people in our own country and around the world to live better & to grow in the love of Jesus.”
