Congratulations to the 75 Confirmation candidates from our Regional Parishes who was confirmed on Thursday, June 2 at 7 pm at St. Ann Church. May they and their families be always blessed as they walk the righteous path through life.



Thank you again for your response to the Annual Catholic Appeal this year.  We have received gifts and pledges totaling $22,800  from 66 families of our parish.  We are looking forward to surpassing our goal to fully fund our parish project.
