Lenten Program - you will receive an email each week during Lent with a link to a very short video. The topic for Lent is "Following the Call of Christ." In seven short videos, Bishop Robert Barron explores six Biblical conversion stories where people are called to a better way of life. After you watch the video, you are free to comment or ask questions.
Weekly Bulletins - you will receive the weekly Parish Bulletin in your email. This will normally be sent on Mondays.
Daily Mass Attendees - If you attend daily Mass at our Parish, you would receive notice of emergency closing or the cancellation of Mass for emergency purposes.
Adult Faith Formation Program - If you participate in the current Faith Formation Program offered for Adults, you will be notified about emergency cancellations. You may also receive information the is relevant to the current program.
HELPING HANDS - From time to time people in the parish are looking for help with things like babysitting, adult sitting, pet sitting, a ride to the store or doctors or any number of things. If you join this group you will receive a notice when someone is looking for help. There is no obligation to help, but it is something you would like to help out with, you can reply.
PRAYER PARTNERS - Many people are in need of prayer. By joining this group, you would receive notice of those who have asked for prayers. Lift them up in your prayers. It is a great way to share your faith.
VOLUNTEER TEAM - For some special parish events we are in need of volunteers to lend a hand. Notice will be sent out and if you are available, help will be appreciated.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION - If you have a child in our Parish Religious Education Program, this is important. We will be using this to notify parents about class cancelations due to inclement weather or emergency situations. We will try to send reminders about scheduled closings as well. Be sure to join each group that one of your children is in. For example, if you have children who attend on Tuesday evening at 6:30 in grade 2, 4 and 6, you would join the groups Tuesday 6:30PM grade 2, Tuesday 6:30PM grade 4 and Tuesday 6:30PM grade 6. Once we get things rolling, this is the only way you will be notified, so please be sure to sign up.
As we go along, we will be adding more groups, so be sure to check back once in a while to see what you can join.
Please remember, you are not registering for a program or Religious Education by joining this program. You are joining a notification program to keep you in touch.
