As the month of June begins, we know that summer is near. Each summer is packed with activities that will keep many people away from the parish on Sundays. I do wish everyone have a safe and relaxing summer. I also remind you to participate at Mass every Sunday and Holy Day. Also, when you are away from the Parish on a weekend, PLEASE make up for your missed offerings.        Again, I ask that those who are able to make a generous contribution to our repair fund. We have several projects to complete this summer including masonry work on the Church building. The sooner we raise the money, the quicker we can get the projects completed.      Our goal in all our repair projects is to maintain our buildings and property to provide a safe and inspiring place for worship, for conducting parish business, and providing space for the spiritual and cultural needs of all our members. Together, we can make this happen. God Bless! Fr. Joe Bacevice

FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

Pope Francis proclaims “Jesus is a paradigm for the Church.” Throughout the Gospels he shares in the important moments of family life and always shows mercy. May all our families and parishes be rich in mercy like Jesus.
