Finance Report
Dear Parishioners,
It is a special joy to see young families taking
part in the Mass and engaged in the life of the
parish. We welcome crying babies! It is a sign
that the church is young and alive. We have a very
talented, caring and energetic team organizing
Children’s Liturgy program every Sunday.
We encourage parents to bring your
children to participate in Liturgy of the Word with
children during our Sunday
11:00 a.m. Mass. Let us try
our best to keep the gift
of faith alive and active.
“Poverty Sunday”
June 25, 2017
In response to Pope Francis’s call ‘to be a poor
church and a church for the poor’, we dedicate the last
Sunday of every month for the poor. All
parishioners are invited to bring
non perishable
food to be collected and
distributed to our local food
bank or the Soup Kitchen.

church;
Those who arrive first, please park in one
direction facing Patrick Street away from the church
