The Baptism of the Lord

Now that we have completed our Christmas Octave celebration and have also celebrated the Epiphany of the Lord, we begin to turn our eyes to Jesus’ public ministry. Today’s Gospel reveals the beginning of His ministry after John the Baptist have been arrested. In this Gospel, many who were in need were brought to Jesus.

Thank you

My family also sends their love and wishes to you all. Thank you! personally, I would like show my appreciation to all those who toiled and sacrificed themselves for the celebration of Christmas and New Year. I thank them, bless them and God bless their time and talents.

Parish Repairs + future Projects

I don’t know if you noticed it or not there will be a lot of concrete restoration going on around the church. The condition of the concrete dictates that it is in need of repair, so we have to do it. Please pray that everything goes well. There are plans for the good of the parish.

We will eventually start doing other projects sooner or later.

Please pray that may God bless and guide me that what I/we plan and execute may we do it for His greater glory as well beneficial to you all for our community.

Wish Deacon Bill Ferrarone and his wife Karen, Best of Luck as they relocate to Northern Florida.

I really feel so sad to share this with you that our Deacon Bill Ferrarone and his wife Karen are going to move out of town – North Florida – to be with family. We will miss them so much. They will be here with us for a couple of months. Please pray for them. I know it’s going to be a great loss to our community. Please keep them in your prayers
