On Sunday, June 11th there will be a discernment process at the 10:30

the discernment process at the 10:30 AM Mass on June 11th. The

Council meets monthly except during the summer and the term for each

member is three years. The Council is an important and valuable help in

developing a vision for the parish and consulting on significant

present time, we are in need of generous medical physicians, nurse

practitioners, and nurses, who would be willing to volunteer and help

care for our various clients. Some of our physicians, nurse practitioners,

and nurses volunteer on a monthly basis and some every other month.
