We've been absolutely blessed this Easter! We want to give a huge congratulations to Isaac Marti and Caleb Robertson who entered the Church this weekend, plus the ELEVEN individuals who entered the Church at our sister parish in Greenfield. On top of that, we welcomed Cooper James who was baptized this morning.

Last Friday we were excited to host our first fish fry in a long time. We were able to bring in $2,000 which is going to support our youth programs.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to those who volunteered. A special thank you to Bonnie Franklin for organizing everything. It was a wonderful evening and we're looking forward to doing it again next year.

Being a priest comes with some unique joys. We're pretty sure Fr. Pat enjoys blessing the congregation with lots of Holy Water. Happy Palm Sunday!
