Veterans' Day Weekend - November 12 & 13
We invite our veterans and their families to masses for a special blessing. We so appreciate their service to our country and would like the chance to thank them.
Also, after the 10am mass, down in the Parish Hall, a representative from the Veterans Administration Hospital will come and talk about VA Healthcare, counseling services, peer to peer outreach and the possible affects of the Holiday season. This session will follow with a question and answer period. No need to register. We hope this can be a helpful information gathering opportunity for our veterans and their families.
The Parish Offices will be closed on Friday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans' Day.
