Please Keep Our Confirmation Youth in Your Prayers!!
This weekend, our parish youth preparing for Confirmation will come together for a special retreat "Some Assembly Required" based on the Apostles' Creed. Through prayer, reflection, and fellowship, our teens will explore the foundations of what we believe as Catholics - God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit - and discover how these beliefs shape who we are and how we are called to live. As a parish family, please keep these young people, their catechists, and retreat leaders in your prayers as they prepare to take this important step in their journey of faith. May our young people encounter the Lord, feel His love and presence, and be open to the Holy Spirit's guidance.

This past weekend Parishioners joined Fr. Chris for “Building Blocks: Foundations for Flourishing”, exploring how creativity can help us grow, flourish, and deepen our understanding of God’s plan for us. Fr. Chris, an accomplished artist, also shared a display of some of his beautiful artwork.

🌹 Happy Feast of St. Carlo Acutis! 🙏

“The Rosary is the shortest ladder to climb to Heaven.”
— St. Carlo Acutis

During October, the month of the Holy Rosary, we honor Our Lady of the Rosary. Today, we also celebrate St. Carlo Acutis, whose love for Jesus and Mary reminds us that holiness can grow in our everyday lives. 💙

Let us follow his example by making time for prayer, drawing closer to Jesus in the Eucharist, and allowing our Blessed Mother to guide us to her Son.

📿 Today, take a moment to pray a Rosary—or even one decade—with your family, offering your intentions to Jesus through Mary.

St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us!
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! 🌹

Catholic Sunday Mass

10/01/2026

This past Thursday’s St. Francis Holy Hour was a beautiful and powerful evening of prayer, reflection, and inner healing before the Blessed Sacrament. Fr. Chris led us in prayer and shared several songs accompanied by his guitar, including an original song he wrote and composed, creating a deeply prayerful atmosphere. Those in attendance were also invited to venerate a relic of St. Francis of Assisi and received a St. Francis medal, generously provided by parishioner Kathie Milan and blessed by Fr. Chris.
