Sharing Christ Across Faiths and Cultures

Dedication of the Fatima Shrine Butterfly Garden

On November 10 we dedicated the newly installed Butterfly Garden at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine. It is dedicated to local families and those who have died in the opioid crisis. It is partially completed, but we have 42 names of those who have died to add, along with others.

The Feast of St. Guido Conforti: “Make of the World One Family”

On November 5, 2018, the Church celebrates the feast day of St. Guido Conforti, founder of the Xaverian Missionaries in 1895. St. Guido, whose heart transcended the boundaries of the dioceses where he presided as Bishop, invites us all to open our hearts to the stranger, the immigrant, those who faith and culture differ from ourselves. His oft quoted motto is: “Make of the World One Family.” Explore his life and spiritual wisdom in the following links:
