Eucharistic Ministers Training: Father Pawel and Deacon Stan will be holding a special training on Monday, June 23rd at 6:15pm at the Seton Center for anyone interested in bringing Holy Communion to the Sick & Homebound in our parish.

Our parish goal is to arrange for monthly visits to parishioners who are Sick and/or Homebound. We can do this with the help of generous volunteers who would like to serve as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. This training will focus on two categories of visitations: one group will be trained on how to bring Holy Communion to those at home; another group will be trained on how to bring Holy Communion to those in assisted living facilities. Anyone interested in serving as Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers at Mass would be welcome to attend this training as well.

During the weekend of June 29, 2025 our special collection will be the Annual Peter’s Pence Collection.

This collection enables the Holy Father to respond with emergency financial assistance to requests to aid the most needy throughout the world. This can include those who are suffering as a result of war, oppression and natural disasters. Thank you for your generous support for so many people suffering around the world.
