"Gratitude for the Past, Moving into the Future  with Courage"

Hello (All),

These unprecedented times have changed almost every aspect of our lives, including our form of worship and how we engage as a Faith Community. Although we are physically separated, we do not have to be socially or spiritually apart. 

As we enter Holy Week (the Sacred Paschal Triduum), may you and your loved ones be sheltered in the protective arms of Jesus during this time and always.

 In Faith, Friendship and Unity, 

- Lorrie
