It's common and fruitful for a Catholic parish to have a "mission" during Lent led by an outside priest or religious to grow together with a particular theme or focus of one aspect of our life with Christ. Fr. Tom Morrow of the Archdiocese of Washington will be leading our Parish Mission from 7-8 pm on March 22, 23, and 24 in the church. Our theme will be "Saints and Sacraments". Fr. Morrow is an excellent speaker and story-teller especially about the saints. Please join us for one or all of the nights!

Mary was returned to our parish today, February 27th. Thank you for all the prayers!

Please pray the Memorare nine consecutive days for our brother and sisters in Haiti: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
