Stay Up to Date with Us Please be sure you are subscribed to our emails and like us on Facebook to get the most up to date information during this time. You may also check our website for updates, and links to online masses and donations.
The Parish Office is trying to limit the amount of face to face contact so we ask that you please wear a mask when stopping by. We also have labeled boxes in the breezeway between the two sets of double doors for you to drop off anything you need to turn into the Parish Office. We do check these throughout the day. Or please feel free to use the night drop located before the main Parish building entrance on the right.
We have been opening up the church everyday usually by 8:00 a.m. for personal visits during the daytime, which is an opportunity for personal prayer or even personal devotions. We are continuing to live-stream our daily Masses at NOON.
We invite you to come together this Wednesday, June 17th, with others to spend a Holy Hour in prayer and Adoration for our city, nation, and our world. The Archdiocese Office of Worship has prepared a template which we are adapting to our parish’s needs. I have received several requests from people seeking what we might do to respond to the events going on around us and to pray for peace and justice. More information will follow soon in a separate email, but I wanted to get this information to you today. We will also live stream Wednesday’s prayer service and adoration from 6:30-7:30.

Parish Feast Day Potluck – Save the Date!
Please save the date October 11th following Noon Mass from 1:00-3:00 p.m. for a Parish Potluck in celebration of our parish consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As part of our year focused on The Heart of Our Family, on the weekend of October 10th and 11th, we will reconsecrate our parish to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In so doing, we will entrust our parish and our families to Jesus in a special way. The Feast of St. Margaret Mary is Friday, October 16, but the following weekend is the fall break in our school system, so we want to set aside the weekend before as an anticipatory celebration of our patron saint. We hope you can join us to celebrate!
