WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
WE REMEMBER OUR BELOVED DEAD
What better way to celebrate World Mission Sunday and its mission to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth, through financial support of the Propagation of Faith. Please support World Mission Sunday today, by giving generously to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
Located near the baptismal font is our parish’s Book of the Names of the Dead. You are invited to write the names of any deceased for which you would like us to pray during the month of November. They will be collectively included every weekend in the Prayers of the Faithful.
