An Appointment With God

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...

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

Honor Thy Mother:



Fulfilling this biblical mandate in filial love,
Mr. Patrick Davino donated a beautiful ciborium
for reserving the Blessed Sacrament
In Loving Memory of his Mother +LENA DAVINO
May she rest in peace and remain In our grateful memories.

You really “represented”!

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!
