A group of parishioners meets in front of Jefferson Pharmacy and departs promptly at 9 am. Anyone wishing to drive themselves can find ample parking across the street behind the Baptist church. These vigils are non-confrontational and meant solely to pray peacefully for the unborn.
- International Night Dinner is right around the corner on Saturday, April 29th at 6pm, right after Saturday Mass. Be thinking about what international dish you’d like to share. There will also be a Quilt Raffle and a Silent Auction. Don’t miss what is sure to be a fun evening.
