as part of an upcoming Homiletics Class, Fr. Elijah needs three or four volunteers to listen to a practice sermon and discuss the impressions/reactions. All participants remain anonymous. No writing or reading is required. Father will deliver a sermon after church on 11/23. You are invited to stay for a few minutes. The help is greatly appreciated!
please stay tuned for information regarding upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas charity outreach projects. Our parishes always do an excellent job reaching out to those in need during the holiday season. This year, the Birthright Giving Tree and Adopt-A-Family projects will provide support for basic necessities, rather than “luxury” items. Please remember this when it comes time to pitch-in! Thank you, in advance, for your support. May God bless your generosity!
