Traditionally, the month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ and Mother of us all.  It is important to renew our faith through the eyes of Mary, through her example of loving obedience, and her consistent request to call us closer to her Son, Jesus.  Praying the Rosary is a sign of special affection for Mary.  For those who wish to honor the Blessed Mother, we invite you to bring flowers and place them at the statue of Mary, next to the tabernacle, preferably on Saturday or Sunday.
 

May 11th is Mother's Day

We are a Catholic Community, rooted in the Trinity, sustained by the Eucharist and the Word of God, called to witness, to serve and to educate
