They now ship over 5 million kilograms of food and necessities per year to children in over 30 countries. Get your tickets early for a great meal and an enlightening presentation! Tickets: $11/ person or $33 / family - available after weekend Masses.
Please note that we pay $10.73 per ticket given out. Family tickets are for Mom, Dad and children under 19 yrs old. Family rates do not cover extended family.

Volunteers needed: to assist with Children’s Liturgy at 9:00 am Mass at the Church. A couple in our parish has graciously agreed to run the program but to do so functionally we need 4 to 6 more volunteers. If you are interested please call Christine at the parish office to inquire about screening procedures.
