On May 7-8, the Parish Family was able to be with the young children who received for the very first time! The children who join us at the Altar from now on are: Harper Bradley, Kaileen Chacon, Elena Koreny, Damian Chacon, Tim Chacon, Benjamin Martinez, Natalya Gonzalez, Cooper Graves, Scarlett Romero, Alexander Stoliker, and Raquel Wemmer It was a gift to be a part of all the celebrating! It brought back memories of many of our own first Communions! Congratulations to these young Parishioners on this great life milestone!

On May 9, 2022, we had one very special young man make his Confirmation. Bishop Weisenburger presided at the ceremony held at Our Mother of Sorrows. Our Confirmation graduate was Luis Colon-Reyes. Luis is a regular altar server and a committed and active member of our parish. We are all so proud of him!

Every weekday evening at 6pm during May, we will pray the Rosary together inside the church. Please come join us for one or all our May Devotion gatherings.

Be prepared for high temperatures by wearing a hat, bringing water, and an umbrella for shade. Cookies and cold drinks will be served afterward.
