The EYC Mission Trip is almost here!

Our youth and adults will be assisting with a variety of tasks, including helping educators teach music and other arts classes, plan a performance for the children, play games, work in the garden at St. Anna's, and more. Thank you for your support!

Parish Life Picture Board Do you have photos of a parish event that you would like to share with everyone? Please add them to the Parish Life picture board just outside the library. If you would like the photos returned to you, please put your name on the back of each one. Weekly Centering Prayer Gathering Each Monday at 11:00am, a group is starting to meet for Centering Prayer (CP). Centering Prayer is a form of contemplation; of intentionally coming into God’s presence in an environment of silence. Generally we will have some introductory training of what CP entails and ways it may function in our lives. The prayer time is 20 minutes long. If you decide you might want to try this kind of praying, come as you can. Location: Chapel.
