Teacher Appreciation Mass

CCD classes take place over 28 weeks from September through May but the time commitment of those people who volunteer to help educate our children in our faith is far greater. Please join us on Sunday, May 5th at the 11:15am Mass to give thanks to those who have given so generously of their time and talents.
