Two weeks ago, the children of our community hosted Stewardship Sundae. Our youth stepped up, giving their time and talents to collect their stewardship contribution for the parish.

It was inspiring to see our youngest members leading by example and showing us all what it means to give back with a joyful heart. Thank you to all that supported this event!
