He will be away from the parish Monday afternoon until Tuesday evening.]

Saint Thomas Yard Sale Coming Soon: Our sister parish of Saint Thomas the Apostle in Waldorf will be holding its annual Building Fund Yard Sale on Saturday, September 29th.

The Social Concerns Committee will be constructing sandwiches and assembling bagged lunches for the Rockville Men's Shelter on Sept. 16. This time we will be making 60 bagged lunches. We need as much help as possible, especially the youth--older ones help with the sandwiches under adult supervision and the little tots can put the juice, fruit and snack pkgs. in the bags.
