This Sunday, July 6^th, members of the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council will be at the back of the church to greet people, tell of their activities and services, and to elicit your support.

The Council has been instrumental in keeping many marriages healthy, together, and intact. They accomplish this through couple counseling, mediation counseling, pre-marriage education, marriage enrichment, family planning and sex therapy, and integrated family services.

Please be generous after the Masses this Sunday morning. 

Professional photographs taken of recent First Holy Communion and Confirmation Ceremonies are now available to view and order online.
