Dear Friends,
Every day at Mass I remember all of you and your loved ones. Our church and world are always in need of God's blessings. I hope you will join me and others at Daily Mass and Weekend Mass to pray for all our needs. May God bless you and keep you. May St. Elizabeth Ann Seton pray for us...

 STEWARDSHIP A WAY OF LIFE  

“There are different kinds of spiritual gift

 but the same Spirit;

there are different forms of service

 but the same Lord:

and there are different workings

but the same God who produces

all of them in everyone.”

1 Corinthians 12:4-6
