🗽Join us on Saturday, July 4 at 8:30 AM for a Patriotic Mass!

🇺🇸 This Independence Day, we gather not only as citizens, but as believers who understand that love of country is a moral responsibility rooted in faith, gratitude, and prayer.

🙏 So what makes a Mass "patriotic?" During Mass, we will give thanks for the gift of our nation, pray for its future, and ask God to make us faithful disciples and courageous citizens. All are welcome - join us!

☘️ The heartbeat of Ireland, in the heart of Dogtown.

☕️ Thanks to harper Amy Benoist for organizing a session group to play during this morning's community breakfast!

🎻 Did you know that a "session" is the living heart of Ireland's musical tradition? Played informally in pubs and community gatherings, it brings musicians and listeners together to share tunes, preserving melodies passed through generations. Sessions strengthen community, celebrate heritage, encourage storytelling, and keep Irish culture vibrant, welcoming, and deeply connected to its roots.

🥐 Thanks to the wonderful musicians for visiting this month, and to all who prepare, serve and attend our monthly community breakfast!
