On May 10th, our parish was blessed to celebrate the First Holy Communion class as they received the Body of Christ for the first time. As the celebration coincided with Mother's Day, the children also took a moment to honor their mothers. It was a beautiful reminder of the important role mothers play in nurturing faith within their children. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Moxley John Schwalm, Jane Charlotte Connaghan, Olivia May Menapace, and Ethan Charles Cuff as they took this important step in their faith journey. May God bless our First Communicants today and always.

Our Soup & Scripture series continues!

On March 9, Sister Joanne Marie shared a powerful reflection on “Letting Go,” inviting us to trust more deeply in God’s plan and release what weighs on our hearts.

Then on March 16, our own hometown priest, Father James Lease, led a thoughtful discussion on “That They May Be One: The Unity of Christians,” reminding us of the importance of faith, connection, and unity in Christ.

We are grateful for the time spent together in prayer, reflection, and community.
