MASS INTENTIONS
It is a wonderful and beautiful part of our Catholic tradition to offer a mass for a loved one, living or deceased. Several dates are available for mass intentions at a cost of $5.00
Please use the mass intention forms that are located in the rear of the church. You can place it in the collection basket or mail it or hand deliver it to the church office.
CCE ATTENDANCE
The CCE program focuses on spiritual growth and the understanding of the Gospel teaching to our youth. Parents, the ultimate goal is youth participation and attendance. Please bring your child/children to CCE each Sunday.
OUR MOTHER OF MERCY IS ON WHATSAPP

It costs you no money. We hope to share the priest’s daily reflections on the readings of the day, especially for those who cannot attend weekday masses.

VISITORS ARE WELCOME HERE
You are always welcome to our parish. If you are a visitor, please indicate by a wave of your hand to be acknowledged. We are glad you have chosen to worship with us and welcome you into our midst, and pray that God may bless you. Our ushers will have a welcoming package for you at the end of mass.
BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES
We encourage you to request a Holy Mass on your birthday and/or anniversary. Please send your mass request at the beginning of the month to the office. On the LAST SUNDAY of each month, those who celebrated their birthday and/or anniversary during the month, will be called to the altar to receive a blessing and immediately afterwards, we will fellowship and enjoy light refreshments in the hall.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR PARISHIONERS BORN IN MARCH

Happy Birthday!
LET EVERYTHING PRAISE THE LORD
