2017 ARCHBISHOP’S
ANNUAL APPEAL
Next weekend is Commitment Weekend. All parishioners will have the opportunity
to make a pledge to the 2017 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal during Mass.
This month, after years of study, 2 men are
scheduled to be ordained to the priesthood.
During their years of preparation for this vocation, they were supported by family and friends and by everyone who made a gift to the
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. When you make a
gift to the Appeal, you help meet the cost of
priestly formation and education. Please support our seminarians by making a gift to the Appeal today.

The Sanctuary Lamp by the

of the sacramental presence of
Jesus Christ. It is a mark of
honor and to remind the faithful of the presence of Christ,
and is a profession of their love
and affection.
If you wish to have the sanctuary lamp burning in
memory of a loved one, to honor a special occasion
or a special intention, please see our volunteers in
the Parish Center after Mass or call the parish office during office hours.
The cost of the candle is $10.00 It will burn for
one week. The memorial will be published in the
