This past July, the parish auditorium and kitchen were severely flooded. There are still extensive repairs required in the kitchen. Although the contractors have said that the repairs will be done soon, we cannot move forward with the Fall Fair given the uncertainty of the timeline. With much of the space in the basement requiring work, we are also unable to accept any donations at this time. The fair will not be rescheduled for this year and will hopefully return for 2025.

Thank you Ricardo Pinos!
For the last few years, Ricardo Pinos has served on weekends as the parish sacristan. He is the young man you have encountered at the doors of the church and who assists with opening and closing the church each weekend. This will be his last weekend, as he is beginning his university studies. Thank you to Ricardo for his generous and faithful service.

Please exercise caution should you receive an email like this and contact the parish via telephone to validate its authenticity.
