Outdoor Cookie Celebration

Following Mass, we will have an outdoor cookie celebration with pre-wrapped cookies and bottled water. Kids can decorate the campus sidewalks with chalk. Bring a picnic blanket for your family, and help us celebrate Fr. Ben! 

What is the importance of a pastor?

A pastor, as an ordained Catholic priest, is specifically assigned to a congregation. He is entrusted with certain responsibilities from the Bishop, like the governance of the parish, the administering of the Sacraments, and the spiritual counsel of parishioners, to name a few. At this installation Mass, Father Ben will accept these responsibilities in a formal way.

Let us pray for our parish community as we continue to all work together to proclaim Christ to all the world!
