- With a heavy heart I announce the passing of Anthony “Little Tony” Thomas. He passed away Thursday night. Please pray for the repose of his soul and keep his family in your prayers as they plan the next steps. Arrangements are not known at this time.
- The schedule of activities during Holy Week are included above.
- Youth Group: Sr. Madrine would like to inform all parents with children aged 12 years and older that we are going to resume the youth group activities. We will have a youth Mass on April 30th (this is a correction) at 11am, which will be our kick-off project. We will meet from 2 – 4pm spanning multiple Saturdays (4/15, and 4/29). If your children are in this age group, please plan to bring them to these sessions. Thank you.
- Lenten Lunches and Friday Fish Frys are over after today. Thank you to ALL who played a part in making these two events possible.
- Lenten Coin Cans may still be turned in to the drop box in front of the baptismal font or at the office. As soon as we know how much was collected, we will let you know. In the meantime, please know that this will be of great help to pay for the maintenance and repair of equipment between the two buildings.
- 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 be a Silent Auction and various raffles, along with music. Don’t miss what is sure to be a fun evening.
- Altar Server training for new servers coming in April! If your child is interested in assisting at Mass in an important way and has received their First Communion, please contact Nicole Amato at [email protected]. Date/time to be announced soon.
- St. Vincent de Paul is coming to Sts. Peter and Paul. If you would like to be part of the Society please email [email protected].
- Our monthly Bake Sale is back this weekend. We are always happy to accept donations of your favorite baked goodies before Mass. Thank you always for your support. Funds raised go to help those in need.
