For the convenience of our parishioners, the staff is now working with Parish Giving to create a fast, simple and secure online giving program. This will provide the opportunity for electronic fund transfers and online credit card donations for weekly offerings and other donations to the par-ish. During the implementation phase, we would like to have 25 families participate in a pilot program prior to the roll-out to the entire parish. If you would like to be a part of the pilot group and/or have questions regard-ing this, please send an email that includes your name, address & telephone number to Sue Healy at [email protected]. Thank you.

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God." Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they ap-proached to offer him wine they called out, "If you are King of the Jews, save yourself." - Lk 23:35-37
