Zelonis offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with the assistance of Deacon Joseph C.

The cry room remains unavailable, but we love the sight and sound of children!

Pilgrimage

If any parishioners want to attend the Diocesan Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 7, inform the parish office. Although we currently will seek to join with the bus of another parish, with sufficient interest we will field our own. But act fast!
