Our bulletin this week contains financial information (see below) and I want to thank you […]
Greetings in Christ! We are moving right along, sneaking up on my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. I’m fired up for this year as I’ll be hosting my family at the rectory…Dad and I are going to deep fry two turkeys. It should be a riot! Last Friday when I was genuflecting at Mass, my knee gave […]

I want to share with you all a neat thing that our Lord did in my life recently; although it starts with a sad thing. My mother Martha died a couple years ago after a long, hard fight with Alzheimer’s. Since that time, some members of my family and I have gotten together once a […]
