A Message From Father Thomas
Dear Parishioners,
As stated in the Mission Statement, we are a Eucharistic community. The source and center of our life as a parish community is the Eucharist, the Holy Mass. We gather, worship God, and pray to Him for our needs and for peace in our lives and in the world. As you know, we now have five Masses on weekends and daily morning Mass on weekdays (Tuesday-Friday).
May God bless you,
Fr. Thomas
