Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us. We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. Dear Lord, we put our marriage into Your hands. Amen

Years ago, the Christmas Collection was sent downtown to fund the Priests Retirement Fund, this is no longer true. All the money received in the Christmas Collection stays in the Parish and is not subjected to the 7% Archdiocesan tax. Please remember, your generosity will not go unrewarded. This collection helps us meet our many obligations in the second half of the Fiscal Year. To date, the Collection is over
