Parents, remember when you registered here? Maybe your children went to our parish school before attending high school and college. Now they're out on their own, and you have an empty nest—but we still have them on your record. If they're still living in this area, please remind them to visit the parish office (or visit the parish Website) to register on their own. This can facilitate their obtaining a letter needed should a relative or friend ask them to stand as a godparent or confirmation sponsor.

Daylight Savings Time officially begins at 2 AM on Sunday, March 14 (next Sunday). Remember to turn your clocks ahead an hour next Saturday night, March 13.

Whether you registered as a parishioner seven years ago or seven times seven years ago, things change. Please keep us up to date if your household grows or shrinks, if someone moves into a skilled nursing or assisted living facility, or if they are hospitalized!
