Congratulations to our Parish Religious Education students who received their First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 16, from the hands of Fr. Ivan.

May this special sacrament draw each child closer to Christ and fill their hearts with faith, joy, and His lasting peace.

Congratulations also to our Parish Religious Education Confirmandi who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on May 19 from Archbishop Wenski.

May the Holy Spirit strengthen them with wisdom, courage, and a lifelong faith in Christ.

Lord Jesus, bless these young disciples as they receive Your sacraments, and guide them always in faith, hope, and love.

Message from Fr. Ivan M. Rodriguez

I would like to begin by joyfully recognizing and extending my deepest appreciation to our Car Grand Sponsor, Grand Sponsors, and our Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Sponsors. Your extraordinary generosity and enthusiastic support were the driving force behind the success of our 52nd annual fundraiser. This celebration would not have been possible without you. Your partnership not only elevates this event but also powerfully advances our mission, and for that, we are truly grateful.

I would also like to extend a special thank you and my heartfelt appreciation to all the volunteers whose time, energy, and dedication were instrumental in the success of our fundraiser. As Mother Teresa so beautifully reminds us, true fulfillment is found in serving others, and your commitment exemplified this spirit of service. We are deeply grateful for the many hours you generously devoted to ensuring the event’s smooth and successful execution. Thank you for your unwavering support, compassion, and hard work.

On behalf of myself, Fr. Jakub, the Church and School staff, and the Festival Committee, we are profoundly grateful to everyone for your belief in our mission and your ongoing commitment. Your contributions make it possible for us to continue our work and make a lasting impact.

We are truly honored by the support of both sponsors and volunteers. May God continue to bless you, your businesses, and your families.

THANK YOU TO ALL SPONSORS!

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mother Teresa
