                                   A Special BreakfastWe would like to show our love and appreciation for our young people who have just    received the Sacrament of Confirmation by having a breakfast after the 9:00am Mass, June the 21st. It would also be an opportunity to show our love and respect for our many wonderful fathers who often get lost in the shuffle. We wound like to make this a happy occasion and we are hoping as many of our church family as possible will participate in this happy event.

Choose Life “For many years I have been an outspoken advocate for the unborn child, because in a culture of abortion, the child is like a slave. The new civil rights movement of our time is the pro-life movement.”  Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King (Priests for Life Newsletter, July-August, 2006)
