LABOR DAY OUTDOOR MASS

As per our annual custom, we will celebrate Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7 with an outdoor bilingual Mass at 9am, weather permitting. All are welcome.

Parish Picnic a Big Success

Our August 30 pot-luck picnic, celebrating in food and fellowship our ethnic diversity and unity, was a huge success in turnout and variety of food and entertainment.  Thanks to all who contributed to this great community-builder!

SEASON of CREATION begins SEPT. 1

The “Season of Creation,” the church’s unofficial yearly observance of the care for creation, begins on Sept. 1 and runs through Oct. 4.  For Oct. 4, we will celebrate our annual outdoor Mass with the blessing of animals at 10am.

ON TO THE SOUND SYSTEM!

With the parking lot reconstruction now complete, we will devote our efforts to improving the church’s sound system.  Stay tuned for better sound in the church!
