We are happy to share that Anne Friel will be speaking at all Masses this weekend. Anne will introduce our new Parish Welcoming Ministry and explain how this initiative will help newcomers, visitors, and returning parishioners feel more at home in our community.
We are looking for parishioners who are willing to help with our new Welcoming Ministry.
If you are interested, please speak to a member of the Welcoming Group who are available after Mass.
