From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Parishioners:
Happy Feast Day!

Let us joyfully celebrate our patronal feast imploring Our Lady to obtain for every member of her family an abundance of divine blessings! Let us also renew our commitment to our parish by our prayer and wholehearted support of its mission!

Today we hold our parish picnic—a time to enjoy good fun, food, and fellowship! Thanks to Dave and Cheryl Uhaze and their team who are so faithful in organizing this event!

Special thanks go to Fred Brodzinski and committee for organizing the Golf Classic that will be held this Wednesday at Mercer Oaks. It is a great day that brings together many friends in support of our parish and school!

Speaking of support, in a few weeks we shall be presenting a plan for increased giving that I trust will be supported by all so that our parish can remain financially strong! “Stay tuned!”

With affection,
Msgr. Tom Gervasio
