THE WEEK OF

November 12-19, 2026

THIS WEEK'S PARISH EVENTS:

Sunday, November 15

10:00 AM

One of the favorite services of the year is Sunday! The Scottish Society will bring their clan tartans; a bagpiper and drummer will add their sound to our music program; and we will put on a Scottish Luncheon for all in attendance. So wear your kilt or something plaid and join in this most magical service.

If you can help out with the luncheon, please click on the link below and add your name to the list.

This will be Fr. Paul-Anthony's first Kirkin', so of course he had to rent a kilt! Here he is trying it on which required a video! Fr. Allan will be wearing a kilt too.

As it turns out, both of our priests have Scottish heritage. Whether you have an ounce of Scottish blood or not, consider wearing some plaid on Sunday!
