Thank you!

Please note... Work on the parish front parking lot will begin after morning Mass on Wednesday, June 10; therefore, the Adoration Chapel will be closed on Wednesday, June 10 and will reopen on Thursday, June 11 at 9:00AM.

There will be no First Thursday Holy Hour tonight due to the Friday, June 5th Holy Hour for the Priestly Ordination. All are invited to attend - tomorrow at 7 PM at St. Barnabas.

Please join us in praying a Novena beginning today, Wednesday, June 3rd and ending Thursday, June 11th with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I consecrate myself and my country to You. I offer to You my heart, my soul, and all that I have. Reign over our land, our families, our homes, and our communities. Make us faithful to Your commandments and filled with Your love.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, source of mercy and peace, look with compassion upon our nation. Heal what is wounded, strengthen what is weak, and draw all hearts to Yourself.

Be our refuge in trials, our strength in temptation, and our hope in every need. May Your Heart triumph in our lives and may Your Kingdom come among us.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in You. Amen.

Plea for Adult Volunteers in order to have VBS!

We urgently need adults to step forward and give of their time so that we can have VBS June 15-19th 9AM-12PM. We cannot currently hold VBS effectively and safely with the few adult volunteers we have.
• You do not have to be available all days that week. Even if you can volunteer 1 morning, please consider.
• Volunteers get free registration for their children that attend VBS.
• Free onsite childcare is available for any young children you have that aren't old enough to attend.
• Please grab a friend or a few and volunteer together.
• Whether you are college age to retirement age, we need you.

We are in need of decorators, snack helpers, station leaders, station helpers, many crew leaders, check-in table, preschool team, nursery leaders, and clean-up crew. Many hands are needed!
(Eligible HOPE Service hours for Roncalli)
If you are an adult or teen interested in helping, please sign up by using the link or contact Bridgett Mason at [email protected] for questions.

We want to bring Jesus to all of these little ones. Please help us accomplish that!
