Living, Celebrating, and Proclaiming Our Faith

Friday, May 24, 2024

We are back in Ordinary Time in our liturgical year but in our faith life, ordinary does not mean boring or humdrum. This time gives us an opportunity to reflect on God’s word and our call to be missionary disciples. Let us continue to ask for guidance and wisdom to heed His call!

Here is a Novena to pray during Ordinary time:

Join in praying the Novena for Ordinary Time!

In the Church, we celebrate Ordinary Time for a large portion of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time is the season between Christmas and Lent and the season between Easter and Advent.

Grade Two First Holy Communion

Today, our Grade Two class participated in a retreat in preparation for their First Holy Communion. Thank you to Mrs. Wagg and Mrs. Zochowski for leading the retreat. The FHC mass will take place on June 2nd at 4:30 pm. It will also be live-streamed.

Thank you

Thank you, Father Matthew, for presiding over Confirmation and for your continued support of our students. A big thank you to Mrs. Geary, Ms. Molina, Mrs. Roth and the staff who helped prepare our Grade 7s for the sacrament of Confirmation! Thank you to the parish staff for all the preparations, especially Mrs. Steele, Mrs. Zochowski and Mrs. Powell. We also appreciate all the Grade Two parents who came for set up, serving and clean up! Many hands make the work light.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR CONFIRMANDS! What a wonderful celebration it was!
