Every registered parishioner should have received the annual Stewardship/Census mailing. Please complete the census and return it either in the basket, by mail or drop it off at the rectory office as soon as possible. The census information is important to us so that we can keep our files updated. The Stewardship offering is also a vital part of our financial stability. With the loss of the Christmas Bazaar and the drop in the weekly collection, the Stewardship collection is one of our largest sources of income. Thank you for your generous financial support of your parish.

This event offers an introduction to Walking with Purpose, a Catholic Women’s Bible Study whose goal is to bring women into a personal encounter with Jesus through the Scriptures.

WWP volunteer leaders and national staff will explain the program discernment process as well as the free leadership training and mentoring support WWP offers. There is no cost to attend. Please invite any woman from your parish who has a heart for other women and is called to bring them closer to our Lord. Click the link for more information and to register for this event.
