Blessing of the Food

Did you know: The earliest known recorded prayers for the blessing of foods on Holy Saturday are found in a Missal published in Poland dating back to the early 12th century?

We invite you and your family to bring your baskets and food to the church for a brief blessing service.

A special thanks to all who gave their time and energy this past weekend to help prepare our parish for Holy Week. This includes members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Men's Fellowship, the Knights of Columbus, and many other parishioners. May God bless you!
