A Few Notes 

If your children have made their First Communion and are in 4th grade or above, we pray you will encourage them to serve on the altar.  Active participation in the parish is a key to good formation, and what better place to begin than with an understanding of the Mass?  Altar Server training will be provided.  Please reply to this e-mail with your child's name, grade, and your phone number.  We will be in touch with a training date.

Thank you for your response to Online Giving. Simple directions to give it a try can be found HERE. If you are currently giving online or via credit card, you will need to switch to this new system by Dec. 31st.  If are new to online giving and you would like to cancel your envelope delivery after you sign up, give Anne a call in the Office at (610)395-2876.
