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 pray that he has an enjoyable and successful university career.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH RICARDO!

In recent weeks there has been a sharp increase in the amount of fake/scam emails being received by parishioners throughout the archdiocese. These emails – usually sent from Gmail accounts operated by scammers – appear to be from a priest and often request the purchase of gift cards or electronic payments. Please exercise caution should you receive an email like this and contact the parish via telephone to validate its authenticity.
