"NOTES OF HOPE"
do you know of someone on your heart who needs a message of hope, encouragement or love, or just a little note to let them know that they are thought of and held in prayer?
You will find in the vestibule of all parishes “Notes of Hope” - a postcard for you to take and write a message to anyone you want.
We ask that you write your message, address the postcard, and leave in the collection basket or drop off to the parish office, and we will pay for the postage and send your “Note of Hope.” It’s a simple, tangible and to the point way of spreading a message of Jesus’ love and compassion.

A NOTE ABOUT MASS INTENTIONS
Our church has the beautiful practice of accepting mass intentions. An individual may request a mass to be offered for a certain intention: or example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as a birthday or anniversary), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. One must never forget the great spiritual benefit andinfinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass. It is a wonderful spiritual gift.
If you would like to request an intention for a mass, simply call the parish office and we will help you schedule a date and time good for you.
The donation is $15.00, but if need be, we can discuss that when you call the office at 775-0086.
Please join us in praying for the sick of our parish communities
