  • Mark your calendars!  Per a directive from Bishop Vann and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, parishes in the USA are requested to offer a special Mass to consecrate the 250th Anniversary of the Birth of our Nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (cf Shepherd’s Update of April 29, 2026).  This special Mass will be on Thursday evening, June 11, at 5:00 pm, preceded by Adoration immediately following the 8:30 am Mass until 4:30 pm.
