 ►First Confession & Solemn Communion will be celebrated on Sunday, June 26, 2022 with a Solemn Divine Liturgy at 8:30am. The candidates this year are: Elizabeth Smithler and Cooper Ruff. Please pray that God bless them with all necessary graces, as they are making this important step forward in their spiritual life! I urge all parents of the candidates to receive the Sacrament of Confession a week before this celebration. I will be available to hear confession before or after each Liturgy on Saturday and Sunday. It is extremely important that parents set an example to their children who are preparing to receive God’s forgiveness for the first time.       

►NO PARISH FESTIVAL in 2022 – Dear parishioners, the Parish Summer Festival is being canceled this year. We regret that we will be unable to celebrate this social parish event which brought a lot of joy and excitement in the past few years. But we are planning to restart this important event next year.  

►Food Pantry: Dear parishioners, if you have the opportunity please continue to support our local food pantries. When you come to church, you can bring non-perishable food and leave it in the church basement. Local food pantries help many struggling people, and our support is also needed to locally enhance this noble cause! Thank you!
