Turning Toward the Future with Caution and Hope

Bishop Budde, along with Bishop Sutton of Baltimore and Bishop Goff of Virginia, have provided guidance to the parishes in their respective Dioceses for a phased approach to reagthering as Church. It provides strict yet broad guidance following Public Health indicators.

If you want to give platelets you will be contacted by Children’s as there are additional requirements. Platelets are desperately needed.

Outreach: Serving the Community




Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them. We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups together again.
