Our first Inquiry session will be held on WEDNESDAY, August 18 from 7 -8 pm in the parish offices. To participate, please contact Pat No- vak to set an appointment for an interview and registration.

Saints have always been a part of the rich history of the Catholic Church. From Saint Ulrich of Augsburg, can- onized in 993 by Pope John the XV, to Blessed Carlos Acutis, set to be the next Saint named in the church, the Saints have been a source of spiritual inspiration. This spring, we will begin exploring the lives of the Saints, one per week, and learn how through their ordinary lives, they have become extraordinary examples of Christian living. Through their example, and the wide variety of their backgrounds, we can see that holiness is for everyone!
Fr. Renninger will reflect on the life of one Saint whose feast day is during the upcoming week. The videos will be available on the Parish YouTube page and a link will be included on the Parish webpage, the Parish Facebook page, and will be included in the daily emails. The videos from the previous weeks will be available to view on the parish webpage.
Featured Saints include: May 17th-Saint Rita of Cascia May 24th-Saint Philip Neri May 31st-Saint Norbert June 7th-Saint Anthony of Padua June 14th-Saint Alice June 21st-Saint Aloysius Gonzaga June 28th-Saint Peter FROM THE DIOCESE
