Weekend Mass

05/29/2026

☀️ Summer is almost here… and with it comes so many little moments that bring joy — cookouts, vacations, bonfires, walks, time with family and friends, and simply slowing down a bit.

This weekend’s Gospel reminds us that true joy is found when we stay connected to God and share His love with others. 💛

So here’s a fun question for everyone:

🌻 What is ONE thing you are looking forward to this summer that brings you joy?

Maybe it’s:
🍉 Family gatherings
🏕 Camping trips
🌊 Days at the lake
🌺 Gardening
🚲 Evening bike rides
🙏 More time to rest and reconnect with God

Share below! Let’s spread some summer joy and gratitude together. ☀️

Do you live near a busy road, a park, or basically anywhere people accidentally end up staring at your yard while waiting at a stop sign?

Perfect. We might need you. 😄

We’re looking for a few awesome community peeps willing to host a yard sign to help spread the word about our upcoming Community Block Party. Think of it as your yard becoming a mini VIP billboard… but way less commitment and way more community fun.

If you’re up for it, just comment “yes” and I’ll follow up with you.

Thanks!
