Dear Friends,

I would like to thank those who have supported the 2025 Annual Bishop’s Appeal. Your gifts have amounted to 87 % of our goal. We have missed the June 30th challenge date. We are less than $9000.00 short of our goal. I will be personally contacting parishioners who have not contributed thus far. The parish is responsible for making our parish goal.

Msgr. Ryan

Dear Friends,

I ask your prayers. I will be undergoing a surgical procedure on July 8th and will be recuperating for about 10 days. I have my priests friends covering for my leave time and the parish staff will be available to you. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Msgr. Ryan

Dear Friends,

On Saturday June 14th we had an emergency at the 4:00 p.m.  mass. A person had fainted and the EMS was called . When the EMS arrived they were blocked by a car parked in the Sidewalk Zone for the Church. This was a serious mistake by one of our parishioners and could have been harmful to others. PLEASE KEEP THE SIDEWALK OPEN TO THE STREET THAT IS MARKED BY THE TWO SMALLCONES!

Peace,

Msgr. Ryan
