We are mindful of the sacrifice of public servants who demonstrated the greatest love of all by laying down their lives for friends. We commit their souls to your eternal care and celebrate their gifts to a fallen humanity. We come remembering and we come in hope, ...

Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. The month of June is set apart for devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. "From among all the proofs of the infinite goodness of our Savior none stands out more prominently than the fact that, as the love of the faithful grew cold, He, Divine Love Itself, gave Himself to us to be honored by a very special devotion and that the rich treasury of the Church was thrown wide open in the interests of that devotion." These words of Pope Pius XI refer to the Sacred Heart Devotion, which in its present form dates from the revelations gi...

Wind Damage to our Church

Posted on April 17, 2016 in: Primary Home Page

WIND DAMAGE TO OUR CHURCH   The extreme wind storms of early April with wind gusts exceeding 60mph did cause some damage to our church.

Garden Paving Stone Traditions

Posted on April 17, 2016 in: Primary Home Page

Years from now children of those parishioners and their children's children will visit our Prayer Garden and they will touch that very same stone touched by earlier generations.
