Once again, there has been a rise in scams targeting local church communities, where individuals pose as priests or church staff through phone calls, texts, and emails.

- Fr. Aro and our parish staff will NEVER contact you out of the blue to ask for money, gift cards, or urgent, confidential favors.

- If you receive a call, email, or voicemail that seems out of the ordinary or asks for financial help, please do not respond, reply, or click any links.

If you're ever in doubt, please contact our parish office. Thank you!
