Memorial Day is just around the corner …
Volunteers are needed to clean the McGowan Church before the start of the summer season. Please call the office at 642-2002 for more information.

Save the date! On June 17, after the Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass, we will have a Parish Father’s Day Potluck featuring Mexican Food. More details later.

Having a family like the Betts move from our church community and join another will be difficult. But we wish Kyle, his lovely wife Nicole and loving daughter Kassie, that they will be received and welcomed with loving kindness. With all the help they and their friends in the Coast Guard have given to us and all the community, they will be truly missed. May they bring as much joy and happiness to their new church and Coast Guard community as they have shared with us.

On Sunday, May 13, six of our children will receive their First Communion at the 8:30 Mass. They are: Aliza Bannister, Ethan Bannister, Jessica Encinas, Derek Bravo, Michael Neuhaus, and Ben Lopez. The children will participate in the Mass and will receive their certificates at the Mass. All are invited to share in their special day at the reception following Mass in the Hall. Please pray for these and all the children in our parish. A special thank you goes to Irma Moreno and her daughter, Adrianne, for all the time they have contributed to prepare the children for this most blessed sacrament.

The new “Policy for Prevention of Sexual Abuse” is now available in the Parish Office. You are welcome to stop by the office and read it through and I will answer any questions you may have. If I don’t know we can call and find the answer through the Human Resource Department.
