“I feel as light as air!” - 2nd grade student On February 21, the 2nd grade class at St. Louis Catholic School made their First Reconciliation. Thank you to Fr. James, Fr. Doug, Seminarian Will, Mr. Gomez, Mrs. Jessica Chaffee, Mrs. Friesen, and Principal Cindy Gee for all their work getting them ready! They are preparing to make their First Holy Communion on May 5.
No Easter Egg Hunt this year! Due to overflow traffic and parking concerns between Masses on Easter Sunday, we have decided to cancel the Easter Egg Hunt. We urge you to enjoy family and community egg hunts that weekend! SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Catholic Relief Services envelopes are being accepted in our regular collection baskets this weekend. This important collection helps six Catholic agencies to provide relief and support to struggling communities. Your generosity benefits displaced refugees and our marginalized brothers and sisters here and around the world. Thank you for your support of this annual national collection! The Pontifical Good Friday Collection will be taken up March 30, at our Good Friday Service. Pope Francis has asked our support of this collection which will benefit Christians in the Holy Land. Last year’s collection supported 29 parishes, 4 orphanages, 3 academic institutions, 120 men preparing for religious vocations, provided senior care facilities in Bethlehem and Nazareth, created 1,500 jobs in the Holy Land for Christians, kept schools open for over 10,000 pre-K through grade 12 students and helped preserve 54 shrines connected with the life of Jesus and the prophets. Your generosity does make a difference! In giving, you join world-wide Catholics in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land.
