Building Project
Our Building Project for the new chapel is underway and going at full speed! Please visit our building project page for more information on the project and how to contribute.
Pledge Cards
Pledge cards for the building fund are available next to the bulletin board in the overflow room. As we move forward in seeking approval from the SSPX superiors, it is very important that we have a fairly accurate assessment of the monetary support we can expect. Please return the completed card by placing it in the pledge box next to the bulletin board, or mail it to the Treasurer at the address listed on the bottom of the card.
Catechism
Sign-up sheets for children’s catechism are available in the vestibule this Sunday (August 30th). They must be turned in by Sunday, September 13th. The first class will be September 20th.
