PARISH NEWS

On Saturday, September 30, you can purchase some homemade delicious baked goods made fresh by our beautiful young JCDA ladies. They will be located at the Wiatrek’s Meat Market from 8:00-11:00am. Proceeds to support local community needs.

Demolition has begun on our Restroom Project. Please do not enter the construction area. If you need to use the facility the Parish Hall will be open. Thank you for your patience during this time.

We are very excited to report that a generous donation from a former parishioner has allowed us the opportunity to purchase a new organ for the upstairs choir loft. The old organ has several issues and repairs would be very costly. We are happy to say that an organ perfect for our church has been found and we hope that it will be in place for our holiday mass celebrations. Some construction will be necessary and those costs will be covered by a generous donation from Michael & Ginger Jarzombek. If anyone is interested in the old organ please let us know. Might come in handy for someone. God always seems to bless us just at the right time. 

His perfect timing.

A new cycle of the Respect Life Program begins in October. This is a year-round, nationwide effort sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to help Catholics understand, value, and become engaged with building a culture that cherishes every human life. This year’s Respect Life theme from the USCCB is Radical Solidarity, which invites Catholics to be deeply transformed by Christ’s example of love. We are called to embrace human life, come alongside the vulnerable, and move in compassion to contribute to a culture of life. On the bulletin board you will find several opportunities to gather with others in prayer, learn more and collaborate in leadership and action.
