Your photos can be displayed in front of the ambo during Mass. You may drop off the photo at the parish office during the week of October 27 through October 31, 2025. Retrieve your photo after the Mass. 

We prepared the candles for all families that have lost a loved one this year.  Alternatively, you may purchase a candle for $5.00 each to pray for your loved one.  We have a table set up outside the foyer area after 8:00 AM.  Lit and place the candle on the candle holder rack at the front of the altar before 8:30 a.m. Mass.  Let us come together to remember, honor, and pray for our departed loved ones on this Memorial Mass.
