We give thanks for the 2025-26 Parish Pastoral Council, who gave generously of their time and talent in moving forward several parish initiatives this year!

Enjoy your summer, everyone!

Please keep the Paulist Fathers in your prayers as they gather over the next two weeks in Long Island, New York, for their General Assembly. This is a time for prayer, conversation, discernment, and fraternity as they listen for where the Holy Spirit is calling the community in the next four years of our mission. Come, Holy Spirit!

Today, a large group of the Paulist Fathers will gather for our quadrennial General Assembly at a retreat center on Long Island, NY.

The assembly may last until June 12.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide their discernment and decisions regarding our community and missionary work for the next four years.

Fortified by your prayers, this gathering can help the Paulists grow in personal sanctity and in zeal to cultivate pastoral ministries that serve as a source of spiritual strength, community, and welcome – particularly for those who are outside the Church.
