Finance Report

Dear Parishioners,

It is a special joy to see young families taking

part in the Mass and engaged in the life of the

parish. We welcome crying babies! It is a sign

that the church is young and alive. We have a very

talented, caring and energetic team organizing

Children’s Liturgy program every Sunday.

We encourage parents to bring your

children to participate in Liturgy of the Word with

children during our Sunday

11:00 a.m. Mass. Let us try

our best to keep the gift

of faith alive and active.

“Poverty Sunday”

June 25, 2017

In response to Pope Francis’s call ‘to be a poor

church and a church for the poor’, we dedicate the last

Sunday of every month for the poor. All

parishioners are invited to bring

non perishable

food to be collected and

distributed to our local food

bank or the Soup Kitchen.

Parking Lot Policy

There is no parking in front of the steps to the en-

The Handicap zones are parallel to the side of the

church;

Those who arrive first, please park in one

direction facing Patrick Street away from the church

Please park directly behind the vehicle in front of you,

potential.

These policies are in accordance with the City Bylaws

and our insurance company.
