We are thrilled to announce that the archdiocese has blessed Randy Parsons to begin his coursework at the Antiochian House of Studies in order to prepare for ordination as a deacon. This undertaking entails three years of spiritual, moral, and academic training as well as a financial commitment.

Our parish would like to raise funds to assist Randy in the endeavor to serve our community in future years.

We would be grateful for any contributions that you are able to bestow at this time. Financial support will go towards the following: tuition, books, and flights to residency programs in Pennsylvania.

If you would like to contribute, you can donate in the following ways:

- Mail or drop off a check made out to the church with with a note in the memo identifying the check for Randy's studies

- Donate online and select "Designated Offering" and add a note in the memo - https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=96110d12-f4c0-4039-8523-8be5f6235766

- Mail or drop off cash in an envelope noted for Randy's studies

May the Lord bestow strength and perseverance upon Randy and bless our community with godly leadership. Please remember him in your prayers.

With love,

Fr. Peter Kavanaugh

Greetings in Christ!

Let's beautify the house of God! This Sunday, after Mass, we need volunteers to pull up the tiles in our parish hall. We are settinn aside this afternoon to prepare the floor so that we can put new flooring down in the week ahead. There will be no Sunday Coffee Hour. Instead, we will order pizza for volunteers.

Please RSVP in the next couple of days if you are able to help with this important project.

If you have a floor scraper, we will need several!
