Congratulations to our 16 Confirmandi confirmed by Bishop Erik Pohlmeier this evening, April 29 at the 5pm Vigil. We did live stream the Mass and below is the link for those who would like to watch. Please continue to keep the Confirmandi in your prayers for the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen their continued faith journey through the gifts given to them on this holy occasion.

We will continue our special liturgical celebrations on Saturday, May 6 at the 5:00pm Mass, with the celebration of the First Communion of our children who have been learning about Jesus in the Eucharist and will now join us at the table of the Lord. Pray for them to know the real presence of Jesus in their hearts forever and to know that Sunday is the Lord's Day and that now they will be ready to receive Jesus every Sunday.

The Mass will be followed by a reception with cake and punch on the patio. Please join us in congratulations!

To kick off the month long celebration of our devotion to our Blessed Mother, we will have 2 crowning of our Mother Mary statues on Sunday, May 7th.

After the 9:30am Mass we will process to the statue of Mary in front of the Ministry Center with our children and all at Mass. We will crown her and present flowers (some will be provided) around the statue, and sing and pray a decade of the Rosary in her honor. Please join us after Mass.

After the 11:15am Mass Mass we will process to the statue of Mary at the Grotto area and with the Knights of Columbus, crown Our Blessed Mother, sing and pray a second decade of the Rosary in her honor. If you can join us in procession, meet us there around 12:30pm.
