As August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Church, we invite all parishioners to pledge their love and devotion to Mary by wearing Her scapular and by bringing Her flowers. At all the Masses the weekend of August 17/18, Fr. John will bless all scapulars. We will have a small number available for purchase from our bookstore in the vestibule of both churches. For the whole month of August, you are invited to bring flowers to Our Lady in a vase and place in front of the statue of Mary at both churches. Please put your name on the vase to it can be returned to you. Someone will keep the flowers tidy and fresh.

Items can be left in the donation bins at both churches. Thank you for your continued support!
