A Welcoming faith of diverse peoples.
Letter from the Pastor
October 13, 2024
Dear Families
As we share the Annual Report with you, we are mindful of the responsibility we have (Myself, Jennifer, Fr. Armando and our wonderful Staff) to account for the activities, events and financial resources you share with us. As you can see from the report, we’ve had yet another wonderful year! All of the parishes ended in the black and we continue to offer sacraments and life-giving activities at each of our four locations.
01
Prayer for Peace
October 13, 2024
With the violence in the Middle East spreading into Lebanon and the continued fighting in Ukraine, we are mindful of our neighbors who are suffering and worried about family back home. In times like this, we can come together to pray, offer support, and find strength together.
Please join us on Tuesday,
October 29 at 7pm at St. Peter
as we gather with the St. Hardini Maronite Catholic congregation who worship at St. Peter and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church of Our Lady of Zarvany, just up the road from St. George. We will share Scriptures, music, and reflections, and spend time praying the rosary during Adoration. All are welcome
