During this uncertain time for our human family and the family of the Church, including the suspension of public masses, please remember that in addition to daily prayer, we need the support of God’s people that comes in the weekly Sunday offertory.

For those who are able, please continue to offer your financial support to the parish according to your situation. We must continue to pay our bills and compensate our hard working staff.
