The Bishop celebrated the 10 a.m. Mass during which he blessed the newly renovated church. He was joined at the altar by Father Stephen Sansevere, pastor, and Father Roy Ballacillo, parochial vicar.
Another highlight of the day was the parish’s observance of Catechetical Sunday. Those women and men serving in catechetical ministry received a special blessing and recognition from the Bishop.
Following the Mass, everyone was invited to enjoy food, fun and fellowship in the gymnasium.
