This process will be one that will take time and we thank you in advance for your cooperation. We ask that you join us in prayer to our Blessed Mother asking for prayerful patience and joyful thanksgiving for the opening of our parish church. We look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks!
Prayerfully,
