Priests, Prophets, Kings
Loving Father, at our Baptism we were anointed in Christ’s name to be priests, prophets, and kings. Our mission is his.
Help us to worship you, Lord God, and to offer our whole lives to you. Embolden us to share your love and salvation. Empower us to seek your kingdom of justice and peace.
When the light of our faith wavers, and our white garments become stained and torn, cleanse us and renew your Spirit within us. Guide us each day along the way of your Son so that we, your beloved children, may be pleasing to you in all that we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. READ MORE

Dear Parishioners,
Well, we made it through Christmas without having to turn anyone away at the doors at any Mass at either STA or SJB. I’m kind of relieved about that but also a little disappointed that turn-out wasn’t better. Come Lent, throughout the Archdiocese there will be a concerted effort to promote Sunday Mass attendance as a critically important expression of our Faith as Catholics, so get ready! READ FR. PHIL'S FULL MESSAGE
