  4. Advent Charity Initiative: “Preparing the Way with Love”

    As we entered the season of Advent, we are invited to prepare our hearts for the Lord. Following the example of Saint John the Baptist — who called people to share what they have — our parish is holding a special charity initiative up to December 21, 2025.

    • How to Give: Use the special donation envelopes available in the church or contribute during the second collection after Mass.

  5. Schedule for Adoration

    Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament occurs every Saturday from 16:30 until the beginning of the evening Mass.

  6. Parish Reminders

    • Mass Intentions: Mass intention envelopes are available at the entrances of the chapel and church. Please complete all required details with your love offerings ($10 per intention), seal the envelope, and return it to Fr. Michal or the Sacristy.
