Happy Easter!

Hope and pray the Easter season is going well in contemplating the Resurrection of our Lord! This Wednesday is the memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker and on this day we will have the May Crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary after our 8:30 am daily Mass. There will be a prayer of blessing and crowning of beautiful blossoms representing Mary's beauty and virtue. To further add to our love for mother, the Our Lady of Grace statue will be present throughout the month of May near the sanctuary.
