Our Parish Advent Project
Have you shared in the parish Advent project by contributing to our Mass of Concern?
Many of our less fortunate neighbours depend on our help for money to purchase food and other necessities at Christmas as well as throughout the year.
Our parish contributes food and other things weekly to several food banks and organizations that help the poor and needy.
Envelopes can be found at the entrances of the church for your donation.
We are very grateful for your generosity.
