Welcome!

Our mission today is the same as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow: To love God, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to feed the hungry and welcome the stranger, to uphold the dignity of every human being, and to be peacemakers in a time of strife. We are followers of Jesus the Christ.

 

All Saints Day is Sunday November 1.   During our special liturgy all are invited to light a candle in honor of their loved ones who have gone before us to be with God.
