Thank you in advance and mark your calendars for October 3rd which is when the festival will be held.

Honoring our Military 

May 16th 4:00 PM Mass – Honoring the Military – At the mass on Saturday, we will have a presentation of colors and the Military display honoring our deceased Veterans, our retired Veterans and our Active Military. The response to this project was wonderful. Please take a few minutes to look over all the Military Information that was given about family and members of our community who helped or are helping to keep us free. May 16th is National Armed Forces Day, so it will be appropriate for us to take time that day for the presentation. The display will remain in place for the month of May.

• Presentation on the Mass – Thank you Ron, Jerome, and Rebecca for a beautiful presentation on the MASS. It will make us all think differently as we enter the church for mass in the future.

• The Taize`Prayer Service was a memorable experience for all those who attended Sunday evening. A heartfelt thank you to Monsignor Zemanik, Father Thomas, plus the amazing All Saints and St Ambrose Choir led by Ron made the evening, for Lent, perfect to honor our Lord. After the service there were light refreshments including, homemade desserts, for those who attended provided by the talented parishioners at Our Lady of Lourdes. Many thanks to those who donated and made the evening special.
