The Women's Faith Ministry is composed of parishoners interested in learning and sharing the Word with each other.  It is a lovely group of women who meet on Thursday mornings from 9:30 till 11:30.

We begin in the Chapel for the first half hour, during which we say a prayer, listen and sing a meaningful song.  Then we break into groups and proceed downstairs to the classrooms for an hour discussion of questions and answers.  Each group has a faciliator or leader.  We choose a study that Fr. Alphonse approves for each session.

There are two sessions in the calendar year. One beginning in September ending prior to Thanksgiving and the other in Mid January which usually ends the week prior to Easter.  There are required reading on part of the participants with questions to answer. Participants are never obliged to answer all the questions, but we welcome you to participate as we learn from each other in our sharing time.

When we regroup at 11:00AM for a synopsis.  After  each session we have a fellowship brunch in McKeon Hall and during the Christmas season we go to Keeler Tavern for the luncheon.  It is a wonderful way to learn the Word while sharing and supporting each other.  For additional information, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Medical Symbol“You understand, O Lord, remember me and care for me.”  ~Jeremiah 15:15

Pills are often considered the first line of defense but with colds and flu, they will not help since antibiotics are for bacterial infections only and cold/flu germs are viral infections. Some think antibiotics help with symptoms but inappropriate use of medication only trains germs to become drug resistant. This means that when you do need the drug, it will be ineffective and you will need a more expensive, stronger drug – if one is available. Whenever you do receive a prescription, use it as directed and complete the course to be sure to kill all the bacteria in your system. Using your meds incorrectly only hurts you physically and financially.

2023 Annual Catholic Appeal

Annual Catholic Appeal“One in Christ” is the theme of the 2023 Bishop’s Appeal, and I believe this message is more important than ever as we work toward unity in our Church and in our society. In that spirit, I ask you to consider the many ways the Appeal unites the diocese in service, compassion, and faith.
