Monthly Potluck Social
Our next Monthly Potluck Social will be held on Sunday, May 18th immediately following the Pontifical Mass.
Solemn Pontifical Mass on May 18, 2025
His Excellency, Bishop Ronald Gainer, Bishop Emeritus, will offer a Solemn Pontifical Mass for our community on Sunday, May 18th, 2025. That day, children may receive their First Holy Communion. If you have a child who will be receiving this sacrament, please contact Fr. Tcheou. Likewise, if you have a child in need of the sacrament of Confirmation, please contact Fr. Tcheou so he can let you know your options. If you previously contacted Fr. Tcheou but did not hear from him, please reach out to him again.
Etiquette for Bishop Gainer’s Visit
Below are some helpful reminders for the proper protocol when a bishop visits
- As Bishop Gainer processes into and out of church, genuflect and bless yourself.
- When greeting Bishop Gainer, address him as “Your Excellency,” genuflect and kiss his ring as a sign of respect for his office.
