Strength for Service Sunday
On Sunday, July 3, we will again have the opportunity to thank our military troops/service personnel by collecting a special Strength for Service offering.

Your gift will help to send these much needed books to the men and women overseas who protect our freedom daily. In honor of the 10th anniversary of September 11 and Strength for Service, for every $200 donated, our parish will receive 20 books to distribute locally in our communities.
