The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has declared Sunday, Sept 20 as Catechetical Sunday. Those who have volunteered to serve our parish as Catechists will be commissioned after the homily during masses this Sunday. The prayer is that we may all continue to follow the example of Christ the Teacher. Click on more to view the Family Commitment Prayer.
