ENJOY the Perfect Blend: Morning Coffee and Friends!
Starting June 20th, Sundays after 9:30am Masses: Moved into the Parish Center Lobby

After over a year-long absence of gathering with our parish community, please join fellow parishioners for a social hour from 10:15 am – 11 am (after the 9:30am Sunday Masses). Due to much inclement weather and heat, our gathering will now take place inside the Parish Center Lobby, located across the driveway from the church.
We look forward to finally coming together again, catching up with one another, and enjoying the blessing of connecting our families through friendship and faith. All are welcome!

“YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH” proclaims Pope Francis
In a new Apostolic Letter entitled Patris corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis describes Saint Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is creatively courageous, a working father, a father in the shadows.
The Letter marks the 150th anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To celebrate the anniversary, Pope Francis has proclaimed a special “Year of St Joseph,” beginning on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception 2020 and extending to the same feast in 2021.
