We need parishioners to join our facility team.  Volunteering as part of the facility team is a beautiful way to serve God and your parish community. By helping care for the church, you contribute to maintaining a sacred space where we gather to worship, pray, and seek comfort. Your efforts, no matter how small, help create a welcoming and peaceful environment for others to encounter God. It's a humble and rewarding form of stewardship that allows you to give back to the church that nourishes your faith, while also strengthening bonds with fellow parishioners as you work together for a common purpose.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make our celebration of the Feast of the Visitation such a beautiful and meaningful occasion!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who dedicated their time and effort in organizing both the Mass and the Reception that followed. Your hard work and joyful spirit brought the celebration to life.

Thank you to everyone who generously donated to support the event — your contributions helped make this feast truly special.

A very special thank you as well to our parish family members from other campuses who joined us in fellowship and prayer. Your presence enriched our celebration and reminded us of the unity we share in Christ.
