A look back at Christmas: In 2020 our parish hosted 8 Masses over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 730 people attended in church, 58 attended in the parking lot, and a total of 582 viewed the three live streamed Masses. Three priests were presiders: Fr. Joe, Fr. Ed, and Fr. Joji. Five musicians and numerous cantors shared their talents. 24 Liturgical Ministers served as Liturgy Coordinators, Lectors, and Eucharistic Ministers. 38 people served in the capacity of Greeter, Usher, and Sanitizer – many served at more than one Mass. Three people did the job of live streaming and broadcasting to the parking lot. Our custodians, Trai and Alberto, worked diligently to sanitize the church, restrooms and narthex between each Mass. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out from the Parish Staff for all the hard work that went into creating each of these beautiful worship experiences for our community!
We care about your health and safety! In addition to requiring masks and hand sanitizing, after each Mass we also:
  • Fog the pews in church with a disinfectant or wipe the surfaces where people sat using a disinfectant spray
  • Wipe all entry door handles and check-in stations, including the pens used for sign-in
  • Sanitize the restrooms
Tuesday, Jan. 26, 7 - 8 p.m. Register via Zoom or contact Deacon Tom Lambert at [email protected].

The Archdiocesan Commission on Mental Illness invites all to "Moving Forward in Hope,” an evening of prayer, connection and hope.

St. Joseph: You may have noticed the statue of St. Joseph we’ve placed in the sanctuary for the Year of Joseph. Perhaps you would like to learn more about the person Joseph this year.
