Friday October 29th we will be having our parish Trunk or Treat in the parish parking lot! Bring family, friends, neighbors, or people you meet walking down the street for a night of fun!
In a trunk or treat families decorate the backs of their cars and hand out candy. Last year we had near 30 cars and hundreds of participants. Even the local police came by to hand out candy!

Jesus Calms Our Waters In our lives, there are moments, when only Jesus can stop our torments. Those daily struggles that burden the soul, He comes to us and makes us whole. Oh Jesus, calm the winds of fear we hide. Smooth the waves of greed and pride.Calm our storms of anger and hate. Calm the storms that dim our sight, that block the path to your wonderful light. Calm the storms that lead us to sin. Give us courage, peace and love within. Let us be a witness to those we meet, the rich, the poor, the stangers on the street. Let us serve them in this great land, for they too may have storms at hand. Until our dying day, until we finally rest, help us rise each day and do our very best. Before the rains wash our strength away. Calm our storms Lord, each and every day. Paul A. Jones |
