Wishing you a restful and refreshing break, filled with time to recharge, catch up on studies, and enjoy a little downtime! 📖 Curious about Fr. Gregory's insights? Attend Mass this week to hear the rest of the homily and gain a deeper understanding of God’s word. See you at Mass! 🙏 Thank you to Lucy from Main West Fortinos for her faithful stewardship, donating these beautiful floral arrangements to brighten our parish this Fall season! Wishing you both abundant joy, love, and blessings as you begin your life together in marriage, and celebrating with you as members of our parish family! It is fitting to thank God for all His gifts. The earth’s bountiful produce shows His blessings through Christ (Eph 1:3-10) and calls us to share the goods of the earth with all people.
