Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal

Join us today as we joyfully launch the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal! This is an exciting opportunity for our parish community to come together and Share God’s Gifts in support of the vital ministries that strengthen our Church across the islands.

Make your gift by scanning the QR code or completing the pledge form. Your generosity supports Catholic schools and faith formation programs, outreach to individuals and families in need, evangelization efforts, and the formation of seminarians preparing for the priesthood. Together, we can make a lasting difference!

Rubbish Tree, Brush and Weed Removal

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, February 21, to help clean up the hedges across the grass area. We need to cut down weed trees and clean up the thick brush and plants. See the picture of what we need to clean up. Work starts at about 8:30AM and should end by or before noon.

If you cannot help the entire morning, how about a good hour or two. Please bring your yard tools.

Thank you for helping to maintain your Parish property.
