A municipal election will be held on Monday, October 22, 2018. All Catholics are strongly encouraged to exercise their democratic right to vote. To help learn more about the candidates for Catholic School Board Trustee, Cardinal Collins has given permission for these candidates to distribute literature to parishioners departing Mass on weekends from September 29/30 through October 20/21. We hope you’ll take the time to get to know those seeking elected office.
