SEEK THE CITY TO COME
 

-MAY 22, 2024-

The Archdiocesan final Seek The City To Come report was released today, and...
Sadly, our beloved, beautiful church is Not among those to remain open.
Please say prayers.

Let us pray and be with each other for the weeks and months to come.
We will continue to have Mass during this time.
We will also host an Organ Historical Society Convention
as well as rededicate the organ with a solo organ recital, hopefully in September.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the office and speak with

Fr. Carrion or Fr. Ponton.
