As we begin a new calendar year, it’s a good time to look back at parish operations and make any necessary corrections and adjustments for the future.

To help us address these matters, the Archdiocese is providing some specialized, on-site oversight of the parish business office for the next few months.

You can ensure that your loved one is released from Purgatory! You may offer one plenary indulgence daily for the dead, from November 1 to November 8.
