Christmas Crib
Through the month of December, we will be accepting baby gifts for our local crisis pregnancy center. Please consider a Christmas gift for these precious babies. Items will be used in various programs to help young mothers who have chosen life for their babies. A crib will be in Fr. Johnson Hall during the month of December for this collection. If you prefer, a monetary donation in an envelope marked “Christmas Crib” would also be helpful.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Since December 8, 2019 is the Second Sunday of Advent, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to Monday, December 9, 2019. The obligation to attend Mass, however, does not transfer, therefore it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation this year.
Our Mass schedule (which is the 8am Mass) however, will include a Latin Tridentine Mass on Monday, 12/8/19 at 12:00 pm.
