Please try to be faithful to Christ by attending Mass each Sunday (or Saturday evening Vigil Mass).  Christianity is a way of life.  Each disciple of Christ is to try to live his/her faith 24-7.  Every follower of Christ should be trying to pray each day.  It has been a custom to pray at least in the morning & the evening; as well as before meals.  It is important to have some silence in our life- so that we may listen to the voice of God.  Each of us is called to come to the sacrament of reconciliation on a regular basis (monthly is not a bad practice).  We ought to examine our conscience each night before going to bed & enter the night hours with prayer.

Time, Treasure & Talent


Along with coming to Mass every week, would you consider trying to give your parish one hour of service?  There are many things to be done to make a parish a living community of love & out-reach.  I am asking that you consider sharing the valuable resource of your time to serve Christ & His Church.  Below are suggestions of possible ministries & involvement.  If you have other ideas let me know.
