Monday, May 27, is Memorial Day.

We will observe our holiday schedule with just one Mass at 11:30 AM.

There will be no confessions and the church offices will be closed.

Let us prayerfully remember all those who have given their lives in defense of our country, and for the cause of freedom throughout the world, especially the members of our armed forces who have died while serving in various parts of the world.

“There is no greater love than this –
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
