SUMMERTIME
As school ends for the summer and we begin "vacation mode" please do not forget the reverence and respect our God and His Church deserves! Please continue to give thanks every Sunday by attending Mass wherever you are. Also remember to always wear your "Sunday best" clothes to church even in the hot, humid summertime. Please leave your cell phones in the car or cut them off as soon as you walk into the church. There should not be any texting in church!
God deserves your undivided attention!
