A Message from Fr. Adolph
Welcome, welcome back home. As we begin to re-enter our worship and ministry together please make sure to continue to follow the guide lines in place. Please be patient as we know this is a work in progress. For those who have relatives with health concerns and other issues please share with them that the dispensation from the Bishop for attending mass in person is still in place for their safety. I am so very excited to be able to pray with many of you in person the weekend for the first time in so long, how wonderful we will gather on the Feast of the Holy Eucharist.
Peace and prayers
Fr. Adolph
