MONDAYS ARE FOR MARY IN MAY. On the Mondays in May we will have Eucharistic Adoration during the day and Rosary and Benediction at 7:00PM in the evening. Our intentions will be for a greater respect for human life and an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

To become a “Shooting Star”, you simply make a donation (Gold Star $10.00, Silver Star $5.00, and Bronze Star $2.00), and write his/her name of a loved one on the star. In return, stars will be hung in the classrooms where the students will pray for our “Shooting Stars” all year long!

REMEMBER
THE CHURCH in your
preparation for the end of the tax year. Donations to the
Church, (monetary, stock, property) are a tax deduction
that can help you and a way, at year's end, to assist your
parish in the work of God.
THE
POOR BOX located
in the back of the Church under the picture of Pope Benedict
XVI, is the vehicle by which we can hear and answer the
cries of the poor on a weekly basis. Please remember to
give to the poor box on a regular basis. Through your generosity
we are enabled to help individuals and families in need.
Thank you for thinking of others during their time of need.
