SPECIAL REMINDER to all 1st reconciliation/1st Eucharist families! The next preparation session will be held on Sunday, Nov. 3 at St. Joseph’s. The preparation lesson runs 9:15-10:30 am, followed by mass at 10:45 am at St. Joseph’s.

Let’s join as a community in preparing for our gatherings! This week, each family will receive a survey asking for availability to help prepare/set up food for our gatherings. Materials are provided – your time is your gift. We have volunteers who are incredibly generous with their time each month, (many thanks to the Bell and Barone families!). Please reflect on this request and team with friends and family to take on a task this year – working together is a wonderful way to enrich our faith and community.
Contact Ann Valley (info above) with any questions. Thank you for your consideration and support!
