Weekly Adoration Time

July 4th Celebration
After the 5:00pm Mass on July 4, join us outside for a hot dog and ice cream celebration as we mark 250 years of our nation’s history! Bring your family, friends, and your appetite — everyone is welcome for good food, fellowship, and fun under the summer sky before you head off to the fireworks. Let’s celebrate freedom, community, and our shared blessings! [posted 6/24-7/4/2026]
Faith and Fiction Book Club
At our July 8 meeting we will discuss A Grand Slam for God by Burke Masters. Come and explore something different; if you don't like reading, listen to the audiobook version. We’re composed of men and women, parishioners and non-parishioners, Catholics and non-Catholics. Everyone is welcome. We gather at 10:00 am for coffee and catch-up and begin our book discussion promptly at 10:30 so that we can be finished by noon. [posted 6/24-7/8/2026]
Summer Travels and Sacred Places
Did you visit a church, cathedral, shrine, or other holy site during your summer vacation? We’d love to hear about it! Please share a brief description of the place you visited, along with one or two photos, so we can feature your experiences in an upcoming parish bulletin or on our parish website.
Submit your stories and pictures to: [email protected] whenever you worship somewhere special this summer. Thank you for helping us celebrate the beauty and diversity of our Catholic faith around the world!
