PARISH NEWS From the Pastor Located on the display case in the narthex are two booklets to assist your prayer, meditation and education. One is a special 2016 edition on Mary and the Saints. Most appropriate for the month of October which is traditionally devoted to the rosary, and the month of November dedicated to all the Saints. The second is Living with Christ, a complete daily missal for October 2016. Both are compliments of your parish.
