First Holy Communion has been postponed until further notice from the diocese.   

Continue to pray for an end to Covid-19.  Pray for all those who contact the virus and those who pass away from it.  Remember to pray for those that are on the front line of this horrible virus, doctors, nurses, police, EMTs and all the esstenial workers that continue to go to work each day to make sure we have the food, electricity, water and other things that we use on a daily basis.
