Our Mission
"Called by God's love to live the life of Jesus in our world."

Did you Get Your Letter?
If you didn’t get a pledge card in the mail, you will find some on the tables near our bulletins in the Narthex and back entrance. If each parish family who is able to contribute gets their pledge in early, we could break our own record and have our goal reached before Thanksgiving! Remember, you don’t need to pay off your pledge until the end of May 2026. Last year, we made our goal right around Thanksgiving!
Please pray for our success each week and no amount is too large or too small to donate. This year, our parish goal is $82,000. It is very important that we make our goal to show our strong commitment to those most in need, to our parish, and to our diocese by our financial contributions by which we continue Jesus’ mission in our world!

Our celebration will be held on November 17th at the Brook House in Elmridge Plaza at 6 PM. It will be a cash bar and your dinner will be provided.

MESSAGE TO GRANDPARENTS
Grandparents are often faith role models and sometimes the ones who bring their grandchildren to Mass or help them prepare for receiving their sacraments. September 7th is Grandparents’ Day. To acknowledge the important role of grandparents in their families, the Roc Catholics Northwest Evangelization team has gathered some helpful resources especially for grandparents.

THE JUBILEE PRAYER
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, rekindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
