From Mrs. Petrash:


Dear Families,

    This Sunday at the 9:30 Mass in the church is the First Holy Communion Acceptance Mass. After the Homily, our first communicants and their parents will be invited up to the altar area. The children will say, "I do" when the priest asks if they are committed to preparing for First Communion. Dress code is regular Mass attire.

I hope all of you can come.

   Also, First Communion forms and fees are due next week.

Lenten blessings,

Mary Petrash



*Have a wonderful day!
