• First of all, for anyone that I have missed, a most happy day to each of you! I know some of you may be alone today and if that is the case, may the joy of this day come to you in unexpected ways! There have been joys and sufferings this past year that may be hard to let go of–but let us try, together, with hope.
• Mass is on Sunday, November 27, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. All are welcome!

Dear Friends,

This week we recognize an ending of one Church Year and the beginning of a new one with the First Sunday of Advent the following week. Endings and beginnings always call us to realize, “what has been and what can be,” going forward.

Let us join each other this Saturday as we all strive to be our best.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

This Sunday will be the last in Ordinary Time. Next weekend concludes our present Church Year with the feast of Jesus, the Christ, our Brother and Friend. The end of anything is always the beginning of something else.

Come; pray with us this week that each of us might strive again, to be “all that we can be!”

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
