“Active” membership at a Parish enables a person to be eligible to sponsor a child for Baptism, to receive financial aid for Catholic Education, to be married in the Parish and to prepare one’s children for the Sacraments. To be an “active” member is to participate in the life of prayer and stewardship in the Parish. All adults over the age of 21, living with their parents or on their own, must register in the Parish to be considered members. The use of the offering envelopes, or through our online donation system Faith Direct, may also help you to qualify for tax incentives.

Treasures From Our Tradition As the Latin Mass evolved in the first six centuries, the central prayer, what the Greeks called the anaphora and what we call today the Eucharistic Prayer, became fairly standard almost everywhere in the West. What we now know as Eucharistic Prayer I, or the Roman Canon, took a complex shape, not at all like the fluid and spontaneous prayers of early Rome, but a real architectural construction.
Totally love him, who gave himself totally for your love. —St. Clare
Over coffee and donuts after Mass one Sunday, an engineer, a physician, and a politician were arguing over whose profession was the oldest. Not surprisingly, they ended up discussing God, creation, and the Garden of Eden. The doctor boasted that medicine was the oldest profession, citing the creation of Eve in the Garden of Eden. “Taking a rib from Adam’s side was a major surgery,” he said. “There's no profession older than mine.” The engineer didn't give up easily. “Before Adam and Eve were created,” he said, “the chaos had to be organized and set in good order. That's an engineer's job. My profession is even older than the Garden of Eden.” The politician just smirked and asked, “Guess who created the chaos?” The 2nd Book of Catholic Jokes by Deacon Tom Sheridan, Published by ACTA Publications, Chicago, Il Copyright@2010 =========================================================

Together In Mission "On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII solemnly proclaimed as a divinely revealed truth "that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, on the completion of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven." By the fifth century, August fifteenth was kept at Jerusalem as the Commemoration of the Mother of God. In the sixth century the feast of Mary's Falling Asleep spread throughout the East. Finally in the eighth century the day was celebrated as the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. VIGIL MASS: MONDAY, AUGUST 14 -6:30PM HOLY DAY MASS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 15 -8AM
