Great first evening session of Totus Tuus!

They kicked off the night with music and volleyball, shared dinner together, enjoyed two VERY competitive rounds of roaming Pictionary, gathered in small groups, and ended the evening in prayer.

Our missionaries are excited and ready to welcome our daytime session kids in the morning!

Please keep all of our kids and missionaries in your prayers as they continue this week of faith, fun, and fellowship.

Beautiful morning at St. Mary Cemetery for Memorial Day Mass celebrated by Monsignor David, followed by graveside blessings with families. United in faith and prayer, we remembered and honored those who served our country, while also praying for our loved ones and entrusting them to God’s loving mercy.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.

Amen.
