With Much Gratitude...

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you to everyone who joined the Wine Tasting event and made the evening enjoyable. Your curiosity, great questions, and shared enthusiasm turned each pour into a conversation. Special thanks to the Pastoral Council and SET team for the thoughtful planning, seamless flow, and excellent selection that brought it all together. Thanks also to the Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery for their generosity.

We thank the Men’s Club for hosting a wonderful Pancake Breakfast, and to everyone who came out to enjoy it. Your time, effort, and community spirit made the morning warm and welcoming. From the delicious food to the friendly conversations, it was a great start to the day and was truly appreciated by all.

The annual Pastoral Visit to the Sick and the Home-bound of our parish was completed with gratitude and care. Time spent listening, praying, and offering support strengthened our sense of community. The visit reminded us of compassion in action and the importance of presence, service, and shared responsibility within our parish family. Thanks to all the members of this wonderful ministry.

You are warmly invited to join us for the Stations of the Cross every Friday during the season of Lent at 7:00 PM starting Friday, March 6th. These prayerful gatherings offer a meaningful opportunity to walk with Christ through His passion, reflect on His sacrifice, and deepen our Lenten journey together as a community. All parishioners and families are welcome to attend. Come, pause from the busyness of life, and enter into this sacred time of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal as we prepare our hearts for Easter.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent is important because it invites us to return to God with humble and sincere hearts. Through reflection, repentance, and forgiveness, we acknowledge our shortcomings and experience God’s mercy and healing. Lent is a time of renewal, and reconciliation helps restore our relationship with God and with one another. It encourages inner peace, spiritual growth, and a deeper commitment to living out love, compassion, and justice. By seeking reconciliation, we prepare our hearts to fully embrace the joy and hope of Easter.

Our parish offers the sacrament of reconciliation to people of all ages on different dates throughout the season of Lent. I encourage each of you to join us for the Communal Reconciliation Service on Thursday, March 19, at 7:00 pm in the Church.

Thank you in advance to all who will attend this evening's Session #1 of our 2026 Parish Mission. Tomorrow evening, we will continue to grow in our relationship with God. Please join us at 7:00 pm to continue strengthening and renewing your faith.

Fr. Augustine Joseph
