This weekend, we have a guest priest, Fr. Joseph Vargese, celebrating all Masses and hearing confessions on Saturday from 4-4:30 P.M. Fr. Vargese is an Associate Pastor at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church; he is also assigned to the Diocese of Palayamkottai in India. Over the weekend, he will share information about his missionary work with this diocese and make an appeal. We ask that you please consider making a donation to our brothers and sisters of the Diocese of Palayamkottai.
