Mass Intentions for the Week
*************************************************************************************************************************
Please use the parking spaces either
at the church or at the Parish Center.
Do NOT park on the dirt road or the paved road
between the church and the center.
We should have plenty of parking between the 2 lots.
For those that park on the road, it makes it hard for CCD and
or other activities going on to get between the parked cars.
Thank you for your cooperation.
DO NOT PARK RIGHT BEHIND
THE CHURCH -
IT IS A FIRE LANE
