Coming Up June 8 - TV Masses, 11 am June 9 - Deadline for June 18 bulletin June 10 - Altar Server training Mass Time Change After broad consultation and unanimous vote at the Pastoral Council meeting, it has been determined that beginning on Sunday, July 2, 2017, the 12:00 pm Mass will be changed to 12:30 pm. This change will help alleviate parking issues, and will also take some of the pressure off the 10:30 am Mass. Consequently, beginning July 2, 2017, the Sunday Mass times will be at: 8.30 am, 10.30 am, 12.30 pm. Changing the schedule of Masses is never an easy decision, though this change is absolutely necessary for the safety of our parishioners. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
