Anniversary Celebration


Congratulations to our Music Director, Jim Tartaglia, and his wife, Marilyn, on commemorating their 31st wedding anniversary this past Sunday. They both also received the Church's blessing from Father Justin, adding an extra touch of joy to their special day. Here's to wishing them continued happiness and many more years of love and togetherness ahead!

Birthday Celebration!

Miles, the beloved grandson of Betty and Al Sparrow, was joyfully celebrated and blessed during our 9am Sunday Eucharist this past week. His presence brought an abundance of warmth and light to our community as he joined us at the coffee hour, embodying the spirit of togetherness and love. May his journey ahead be filled with endless blessings and grace as he continues to grow and flourish in the embrace of our congregation.
