We would like to thank all of the generous people who made this day possible, from the many sponsors to the players who came out and supported the parish.

It is with Pride, Love and Appreciation that we say thanks to all the sponsors; to our volunteers — Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.

God Bless Reflecting on our Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan Core Direction #1 – Parish Life Our parishes are spiritual homes where we meet one another to encounter Christ. Our plan calls on us to make our 225 parishes places of welcome and hospitality, both for those who are with us each week and those who return home after many years. We will prepare ourselves with care each week to celebrate the sacraments and encourage attentive and active participation from everyone. We will support our priests and deacons as they lead the way, and when asked to assist, we will respond. It’s important that we celebrate the many parishes already engaged in outreach ministries and programs that support the family, the domestic church.

Riflessione sul Piano Pastorale dell’Arcidiocesi Direzione Centrale N. 1 – Vita parrocchiale Le nostre parrocchie sono famiglie spirituali in cui ci ritroviamo insieme per incontrare Cristo. Il nostro Piano ci invita a rendere le nostre 225 parrocchie luoghi di accoglienza e ospitalità, sia per quanti partecipano con noi tutte le settimane, sia per quanti ritornano dopo parecchi anni. Noi ci prepareremo con cura ogni settimana per celebrare i sacramenti e promuovere un’attenta e attiva partecipazione da parte di tutti. Sosterremo i nostri sacerdoti e diaconi che ci guidano, rispondendo appena ci chiamano. È importante encomiare le tante parrocchie già impegnate in eccellenti servizi e programmi in favore della famiglia, chiesa domestica.
