This weekend marks the official start of the Our Shepherds – Our Future Capital Campaign in our parish. A packet has been prepared for each registered parishioner and has been mailed to your home. The packet contains a letter which includes a specific dollar amount that you are asked  to prayerfully consider. Please review the campaign material, pray about your response, and continue to spread the positive message about this important effort.

#LivingStationsYM3 The teens of YM3 have been working hard the last few weekends to create the Living Stations as a video series since we couldn’t host it with a live audience under the current guidelines. We will post two Stations a day for all of Holy Week, so please tune in and share! We hope these videos help you contemplate on Our Lord’s Passion and Death during this Passiontide.
