PSST:
It’s Fr. Stephen Durkee’s birthday on
Sunday, December 14.
Please wish him a very Happy Birthday.
Let’s shower him with prayers and gratitude for the joy he has brought to our Parish!

Please remember to bring your gift(s) into Church no later than 10 am on this Sunday morning, December 14. We will be sorting and delivering gifts on Sunday. This is a family-friendly opportunity and wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

* Sorting and tagging of gifts will begin after the 9:00 am Mass.

* Delivery of gifts will begin at 11:00 am.
