Our Daily Bread Ministry

We need new volunteers for Our Daily Bread. Drivers will pick up day-old baked goods from the Publix store off of Benfield Road and deliver them to designated food pantries once a week around the city. The days that need coverage are Sunday and Thursday. These hours are scheduled in the morning. For more information, please contact Carolina Willes at carolinawilles@att.net.

3 units inside the church are undergoing repairs.  It may be chilly inside the church because we cannot use these units until new parts are installed.  Please dress warmly and thank you for your patience!

Are You Striving for Sainthood?

This examination is adapted from the official questionnaire that is used when the Church is investigating the worthiness for beatification and canonization of Catholics. They are the questions that are asked of the witnesses who knew the person in question when they were alive. It is a truly great examination of how we are doing, and what type of goals we can set in order to truly live our Catholic faith.  Are we striving to be saints?  There are only saints in Heaven.
