Next weekend is Worship Offering Commitment Sunday. If you filled out a worship offering commitment card last week, remember to bring it next week to Mass. Cards are available at all our church entrances this week, and we’ll also have them in the pews next week. We also have our Annual Business Meeting next weekend at 11:30 am over at the Father Keaney Center across from Immaculate Heart of Mary church, right after 10 am Mass finishes. Come with your questions about our mission, vision, strategy, and finances! 

      Advent will bring lots of great opportunities to grow your faith. Try out for a season engaging in a small group!
