We will celebrate our Latin heritage and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe this Sunday. The congregation will be joined by mariachis and celebrate following both services. A treasured annual tradition for our congregation.

Roses this Sunday have been given by Mr. Heyden Morales in honor of Saint Lucy of Syracuse.

Children and Youth Chapel will be available at the 10.00 am service. We welcome the children and youth to the CYF Room after the opening acclamation and return during the peace.
