A sincere “thank you” to all, who have responded to Diocesan Stewardship 2010. We truly appreciate your support and generosity. Once our parish goal is paid, all money collected beyond our goal will be returned to the parish. As was mentioned in our first letter, this money will be placed in our building/maintenance fund to make necessary repairs to our lower parking lot and hopefully update the restrooms in Holy Family Hall.

Do you know someone who is seeking a deeper relationship with God, and may wish to explore what the Catholic Church teaches? Pray to be inspired by the Holy Spirit to invite a spouse, friends, a neighbor or a co-worker to "Come and See" what our Catholic faith is all about. The inquiry period is a time for individuals to ask questions and explore the basic beliefs of our Church. Classes will begin in September.
