Vocation Chalice Signup All families and members of our parish family are invited to contact the parish office at 229-4254 to signup to receive the Vocation Chalice for one week each year. The Vocation Chalice is our contribution in asking the Lord to inspire those He calls to be able to hear that call to send laborers into His harvest. It is always a privilege to be part of this endeavor.

Funeral Arrangement Policy In the interest of properly planning any funerals or burials, all families are

requested to make arrangements with our church offices first and then proceed to make final arrangements with the funeral home of your choice. This will ensure

that the funeral liturgy is planned correctly. Funeral homes and monument companies are not responsible for planning our liturgies for us nor do we forgo that critical responsibility. If you have any questions about our cemeteries will be

happy to assist you.
