Thank You to All Lawn Fete Volunteers, including everyone who helped from planning to tear down, for giving their time and energy to making this year’s Lawn Fete a success! We couldn't have done it without you!

The Peter’s Pence Second Collection date is next weekend June 29 and 30, at all Masses. The Peter's Pence Collection derives its name from an ancient custom. In ninth-century England, King Alfred the Great collected money, a "pence," from landowners as financial support for the Pope. Today, the Peter's Pence Collection supports the Pope's philanthropy by giving the Holy Father the means to provide emergency assistance to those in need because of natural disaster, war, oppression, and disease. Please Send Us Your Email Address; this will help the parish keep mailing costs at a minimum. In addition, we will be able to keep you informed of specific activities, cancellations, and updates of parish information. Your information will be kept confidential.
