News and Events

Faith and Fiction Book Club
At our September 9 meeting we will discuss Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. Come and explore something different; if you don't like reading, listen to the audiobook version. We’re composed of men and women, parishioners and non-parishioners, Catholics and non-Catholics. Everyone is welcome. We gather at 10:00 am for coffee and catch-up and begin our book discussion promptly at 10:30 so that we can be finished by noon. [posted 9/8-9/26]

Rosary & Weekday Mass
Once a month, we recite the Seven Sorrows Rosary (at 8:45 am) before celebrating weekday Mass (at 9:00 am). Please join us on Wednesday, September 11; this Mass commemorates the 25th anniversary of 9/11.  Afterwards we will conduct a memorial service in conjunction with the Peninsula Methodist Church.

The Bishop is Coming!
We're so pleased to announce that Bishop Malesic will be coming to our partish to celebrate Mass with us on Saturday, September 12 at 5:00 PM.  Please plan to come to this Mass so we can give our bishop a warm welcome.  Following Mass, we will have an outdoor-catered reception for him. This is our chance to come together to thank him for allowing us to remain an independent parish under a Presbyteral Moderator. We are asking parishioners to help with the reception by bringing a salad or dessert.  Sign up sheets are in the back of the church.  If you would prefer to make a cash donation to offset the cost of catering, please place it in the collection basket in an envelope marked "Bishop's Reception." We are hoping to fill our pews on September 12! [posted 8/26-9/12/26]

Monthly Confession Time
Starting in September, our parish will offer monthly confession time from 4:15-4:45 on the first Saturday of the month before the 5:00 Mass.  Consider taking advantage of this sacrament on September 5. [posted 8/19-9/5/26]

Summer Travels and Sacred Places
Did you visit a church, cathedral, shrine, or other holy site during your summer vacation?  We’d love to hear about it!  Please share a brief description of the place you visited, along with one or two photos, so we can feature your experiences in an upcoming parish bulletin or on our parish website.
Submit your stories and pictures to: [email protected] whenever you worship somewhere special this summer. Thank you for helping us celebrate the beauty and diversity of our Catholic faith around the world!
