Greetings in Christ, all! I am writing this article way ahead of time due to publishing restraints…as a result, I obviously won’t be able to comment on any current events. This is the first week of Advent. Advent is a four-week season in the Church, during which time we are to prepare our hearts for […]
Greetings in Christ, all! For the next few weeks I will be turning in my bulletin articles way ahead of time due to our printing schedule for the bulletin company. So, these articles won’t be addressing any current topics or anything – just as a heads up. This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. This is my […]
As you hopefully see, we have our State of the Finance handout in the bulletin this week. It is very important to me that you read this. See how we are doing and what we are doing with the money you entrust to us. Hopefully, you noted that we significantly cut costs here at Holy […]
Greetings in Christ, all! Our move into the heart of Fall continues and I couldn’t be happier about it…I just love this time of year. I wanted to take this space to thank you all for your kindness.

Greetings in Christ, all! During our construction time, I will need to keep my bulletin articles relatively short so as to leave room for the Mass parts within our bulletin.

Greetings in Christ, all! This one is going to be very short, because space is limited. The restoration of our church is moving along very well, please keep those prayers coming!
