If you are interested in helping to plan our observance of this important anniversary, please contact Father Scott. The cornerstone for the original church was dedicated by Bishop Wood on September 13, 1873. We will begin our year-long celebration with a parish mission in the last week of September, led by the Fathers of Mercy. A committee is being formed to plan events, and your ideas are welcome. Some options are a parish gala, wine and cheese party, updated parish history (last written in 1973), new parishioner photo directory, and more. If interested in being part of the planning, please email Father Scott at [email protected] or see him after Mass.
