Solemnity of Christ the King

This Sunday, the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, marks the end of the Liturgical Year for the Church. At the changing of the Liturgical Season, the Church reflects upon and we remind ourselves Who is in control, Who is the Lord of History, Who is the King of the universe. We sang […]

Health Update

Election Results

It will be nice this weekend to enjoy watching football without political ads! The election was declared on Election Day (well the wee hours of the morning of the next day…) and we can all take a deep breath as the dust settles.

Well, that was a much more devastating storm than predicted! I hope and pray that everyone has power and has recovered. We will all have stories for years to come!

Charging Forward in Faith and Education

Excitement still hangs in the air from the public launch of our Charging Forward in Faith and Education capital campaign! What a night that was!
