I am so very grateful to you for loving and being good stewards of your parish.

Thank You
I would like to thank and congratulate our Music Director, Mark LaRosa on a magnificent concert last Sunday afternoon. It was such a beautiful experience; the music chosen and the sound of the voices were truly uplifting. I’m sorry for those of you who didn’t attend. You missed out on something wonderful.  Next time!
