Altar servers needed

We are currently in need of Mass servers. This is especially the case on weekdays, but we could also use more on Sundays. Parents of potential servers, or young men interested in serving, are invited to contact Father Geddes.

Additional weekday Masses

In addition to our current schedule, on an experimental basis only, we will add a second weekday Mass when a second priest is available. A server would also be needed to cover these times.

Mon-Fri evening at  7:30 pm
Sat morning at  7:30 am

Summer attire at Holy Family

But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Galatians 5:22
