Happy 66th Wedding Anniversary to Tony and Jane DiDonato! Fr. Pfeiffer joined them at their home to give them a special blessing to celebrate the wonderful graces God has bestowed upon them for 66 years. What a great example they give to us of the faithfulness in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

Erich and Patricia Bettle celebrated 50 years of marriage! They received a special blessing at Mass for this occasion. In our culture, the importance of marriage is not only downplayed but often attacked. May we thank God as this couple continues to be a blessing for us all.

Paul and Irene Fickert celebrated 60 years of marriage! Thank God for the beautiful sacrament of Matrimony. Paul and Irene show a great example of God’s love and presence in the world. What a joy to bless them on this occasion.

Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Listening Session Regarding Church Scandals This Sunday, October 28 at 9:30 in the PAC we will have a listening session regarding the recent scandals in the church. It will be a time of prayer, sharing thoughts and feelings, and offering support to one another as we journey together during these difficult times. My hope is that this can be a step toward receiving the Lord’s consolation and asking God to bestow even more graces to His Church.
