HEAVEN
Heaven is at pre-sent out of sight, but in due time, as snow melts and discovers what it lay upon, so will this visible crea-tion fade away before those greater splen-dors which are behind it.

Scam Emails
Please be aware of scam emails targeting clergy names by sending email correspondences (or other forms of social media) to contact parishioners. These emails which appear legitimate are often signed with the pastor’s name such as “Fr. Peter” or a member of the parish staff and request money or gift cards for a “special project.” If you receive such an email request please be aware that it is a scam. If you are unsure of the authenticity of a parish email, contact the parish office (480) 838-7474 to verify.
