Boy Scouts Troop 399 will be selling wreaths again this year. As in the past, the wreaths will be individually wrapped. The boys can hand them to you or take them to your cars. We will be selling outside after the Masses on November 21-22. The price is $20 for a 26" wreath.

During this public health crisis, when officials recommend “social distancing” to slow the spread of infection, those facing domestic abuse may encounter additional risk. It's much more difficult to escape when violence erupts when you're forced to be in the same home with your abuser. During the pandemic local DV hotlines and shelters remain open.

Thank you in advance for your generous donations helping less fortunate families.

We want to make sure we're meeting your needs as best as we can. This survey will be open until November 15, will only take between 3-5 minutes and is totally anonymous. We appreciate the feedback very much. May God bless and protect you and all you love.

Political Engagement is Part of our Catholic Call. In their statement on Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the U.S. Catholic bishops urge Catholics to form their consciences through being open to truth, studying Scripture and Church teaching, examining facts and background information, and prayerful reflection (no. 18). Learn more as we involve ourselves in the election process and examine the issues. Watch videos, find recommendations for prayer, and access other resources on conscience formation for faithful citizens.

Stewardship of Treasure: Our weekly collections are down 20% from our budgeted amount and 23% from the prior year primarily due to the effects of the pandemic and the realities surrounding it. As we work to overcome the shortfall, we truly appreciate everything everyone is doing to help keep us going. Thank you for supporting our mission to build up the Body of Christ through our charitable works and for the ways we minister to others.
