RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 6

Due to the timing of the Triduum this Easter, we have rescheduled March’s Drinking with the Saints for Saturday, April 6.

Please let us know if you are able to come so we can plan enough refreshments for all.  Thank you!

Mark your calendars, and please join us on Friday, April 12th at 7:00pm as we raise our voices and our hearts in Eucharistic Adoration with Praise & Worship.

Please note, Adoration on Thursday April 11th is cancelled in lieu of this Encounter event on Friday.

May God’s grace and blessings that they received through Baptism and Confirmation guide them throughout their lives.
