Announcements:
Confessions will be heard on Sunday mornings from 9:15-9:45am and by appointment. All faithful are encouraged to come to the Sacrament every 8 weeks, on average, to help maintain spiritual health.

A reminder that we are in the season of the Pre-Nativity (Advent) Fast. All fasting guidelines apply.
