Toast and Roast BBQ – Thank you!
Thank you to all our volunteers that came out yesterday to give Fr. Terry a wonderful send off! Events like this are only successful with the help of our many volunteers. Special thank you to Julie and David Keller for organizing the whole event and the KOC for cooking the wonderful pulled pork! We cannot thank you all enough. The BBQ was a great way to thank Fr. Terry for being our spiritual guide for the past 12 years here, he will be greatly missed by so many. Funnily enough yesterday was also the 23rd anniversary of Fr. Terry’s ordination! How special is it we got to celebrate him on Father’s Day and his ordination day!

Pray for Vocation – Elijah Cup
-
The purpose of the Elijah Cup Program is to encourage families to pray for and promote vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life. When we pray for vocations, we lift up to our Father those men and women whom He is calling to follow Him in a very special way. We are able to accommodate two families per week.
