Are they people who can’t face the competition and cruelty of the “real” world? No. They are people who believe that through ministry they can immerse themselves in the world and make positive changes. They have the courage to touch lives, hearts and souls in a high-tech, unchurched world. Are you that kind of person? SERRA Club for priestly and religious vocations

On Mothers Day M is for the million things she gives me, O means only that she's growing old, T is for the tears she sheds to save me, H is for her heart of purest gold; E is for her eyes with love light shining; R means right, and right she'll always be, Put them all together, they spell MOTHER The one who means the world to me. (adapted from a poem by Howard Johnson, 1915) Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the parish! Thank you for everything you to do support St. Boniface and St. Anthony's Bread!
