Mass Intentions

We have a new drop-off point for aluminum cans and

plastic bottles (sorry, no glass). Just drive up to the large
storage structure on the west end of the gravel lot. Thanks
for supporting our school and Youth Group.

Our calendar for Mass intentions is already filled for

January 2015. If you have a special date in mind for a
Mass intention, it is best to reserve it sooner rather than
later.
