Deacon’s Corner A Word from Deacon Ed As a nation, we are about to witness a complete solar eclipse. This means that for a period of time the moon will pass between the earth and the sun blocking out the sun’s rays. No matter how strong our faith this will be an unnerving event. So […]
Enter To Worship – Exit To Serve
Fr. Bob’s message is clear. We are not expected to change the world but to make a change in our little part of the world. With this, we each take direct responsibility for a manageable part of making our church community a better place. The ripple effect of this simple approach became evident when my […]

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Dear Church Family, Let us give thanks to the Lord for our country but also let us continue to pray for the evil that is so present amongst us. That is the evil of drugs, gangs and murder. It’s out there. It’s around us. Each of us can touch it in some way by prayer […]

A Word from Fr. Bob Dear Church Family, What a glorious celebration of our church’s birthday as God’s people on the Feast of Pentecost, last Sunday with “Red” as the symbol.
