IN OUR PARISH

SATURDAY EVENING SACRISTAN   We are in need of a sacristan for the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Saturdays.  This is a very important job; the sacristan is responsible for most of the practical details of getting us ready for Mass, and a good sacristan frees me up to think about the things I need to think about.  The commitment is every Saturday.  If you think this would be something you would like to do, please speak with me.   Fr. Stef  

SCHEDULES AVAILABLE     The new server and extraordinary minister schedules are available in the back of church. The new schedule starts August 18th.  Please pick up your schedule today.
