Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) – Adult Volunteers Needed

CLOW is held during the Sunday 10:00 am Mass for children ages PK4 – 2nd grade. This ministry is parishioner-led and organized in teams.  So, we need parents or other adults to form the teams that will rotate weekends. This is a wonderful way to share your love of our faith with our youngest members.

Parish Rosary for the founder of the Knights of Columbus – Saturday, August 22

The intention is for the work of the Knights of Columbus in honor of the feast day of Blessed Michael McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus. August 13th is the Feast Day for Blessed Father Michael McGivney. In 1882, while an assistant pastor at Saint Mary’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut, McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, with a small group of men in his Parish. The goal was to care for the poor and the widowed, to make its members better Catholics and better Americans, and to contribute to the spiritual and civic well-being of the church and the local communities of its members. This remains the core of the Knights’ Mission today. Please join us to pray the Rosary in remembrance of Father McGivney and for the charitable work of our Knights of Columbus here in our parish and around the world.

First Friday Rosary – August 7

Come pray the Rosary with us on the first Friday of every month in the Church. As John Paul II explained, “…our heart can embrace in the decades of the Rosary all the events that make up the lives of individuals, families, nations, the Church, and all mankind. Our personal concerns and those of our neighbour, especially those who are closest to us, who are dearest to us” (RVM, 2).
