Email to Our Parishioners

Hello Dear Parish Family,

We hope you had a good week! It was wonderful to see those of you that were able to attend the communion services the last two weekends. We’ve been busy preparing for the return of public Mass this weekend. We are filled with joy and looking forward to celebrating with those that will be able to attend! If you are unable to attend due to sickness, age, or underlying health conditions, please be assured of our continued thoughts and prayers and we are most grateful for yours. We encourage you to visit our parish website for streaming Mass resources, recordings of the weekend Gospel and Bishop Christian’s homily. Please read below for Bishop Christian’s latest weekly message, letter, updates, and reminders.


This weekend as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) let us consider the depth of our Lord’s love for us. “Motivated by his own love and by his desire to teach us love, Jesus came on earth and stayed with us in the Eucharist.” (St. Josemaria Escriva). Let us take that love and spread it by our example!


Updates and Reminders:

  • UPDATE: Please take a few moments to listen to Bishop Christian’s 6/10/20 weekly message. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to receive notifications of future videos.

  • UPDATE: We will resume public Mass this weekend as we celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi (June 13th-14th). There will be two Masses, Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. The Sunday 8 a.m. Mass will be re-instituted in the near future. Please read Bishop Christian’s latest letter and review our guidelines prior to attending Mass. You may also download printable guidelines.

  • NEW: Hats off to our graduates! For members of the Class of 2020, this year has been filled with uncertainty. Graduation ceremonies have been very different, and students have missed out on many special events. We want to congratulate all the young men and women in our parish who are graduating from college, high school and junior high and let them know how proud our parish community is of their achievements. This is an accomplishment to remember and celebrate! May God bless them as they pursue future endeavors.
