Religious Education classes begin every September.

As always you are cordially invited to help us! We definitely would appreciate some assistance with general office chores such as record-keeping, mailings, copying etc. Please consider helping. Contact Sr. Doryne in the Rectory for more information or more ideas on how you can help.
