Summertime can be rather challenging in our office because cashflow can be tough to deal with because many people are away on any given weekend. Please don't forget your parish when you are away. Please send in your contribution early or make it up when you get home.
"Give God your first-fruits, not your leftovers."
Thank you,
Fr. Tim

Tucson bishop: US policy puts migrants at risk of violent crime
12/06/19 12:59 am

“The Migrant Protection Protocol is a policy that does not provide protection to these most vulnerable people and in fact has placed them in significant danger in cities that cannot adequately assist them,” Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger of Tucson said Dec. 2. For these reasons I call on others of good will to oppose this policy and to join me in communicating this opposition to our congressional delegation.”

"I don't hate anybody. I was raised in a Catholic house, we don't hate anybody—not anybody in the world,” said Pelosi. She had been asked by a journalist during her weekly press briefing if she “hates President Trump.”
