Together In Prayer: For Our Ministries and People of God
In a world filled with voices not our own we can be pulled apart and forget that which must never be forgotten:
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, Jesus said to them, ‘Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ (Mk 6:31)
Soon you will have the opportunity to join us for an evening of Prayer, Chant and Quiet Meditation as we find our rest here in the Church and in adoring Christ, find ourselves.
On Friday, September 24th from 6:30-8:30 pm |
| Blessing Of the Animals: |
|

Juju and Bombon would like to invite you and your best friend for a day of blessing and prayer...

FAITH - FRIENDSHIP - MUSIC PERFORMANCES - SPORTS
Our STM Youth Group, “Generation JC”, did a great job serving at the Sr. Glenda event. We ran a pizza and a burrito stand, helped out with drinks and other chores.

Our youth bible study starts this Wednesday night, September 8th, 7:30pm-8:15pm in Faith Formation Room 5. We will be contrasting the media’s portrayal of love to God’s definition of love as found in 1 Corinthians 13. See you there!
