Week of January 24th
It was a pleasure to attend our 2nd graders’ Reconciliation Retreat this past Saturday as they prepare to make their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion later this year. During the retreat, the story of The Lost Sheep was experienced by all. May we all experience God’s loving mercy this week.
Updates and upcoming events follow.
Have a great week!
