Sad news out of the Vatican, as Pope Francis passed away early this morning; he was 88 years old. Please pray for the repose of the Holy Father’s soul, his family and friends, and our brothers and sisters who mourn his passing. Please also pray for the cardinals who will soon gather to elect the next pope, that they will be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

O God, immortal shepherd of souls, look on your people’s prayers and grant that your servant Pope Francis, who presided over your Church in charity, may, with the flock entrusted to his care, receive from your mercy the reward of a faithful steward. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Dear Friends,

Registration for our annual summer camps is open! Because the camps fill up quickly, I invite you to register early to secure your spot. 

CALL TO HOLINESS

Open to rising 7th through graduating senior girls

VOCATIO DEI

June 25-28, 2025
Open to rising 7th through 10th grade boys

Both Call to Holiness (for girls) and Vocatio Dei (for boys) include high-energy activities, inspiring talks and testimonies, Mass, Adoration, and a chance to interact with sisters, priests, and seminarians. 

We also need counselors for both camps, and have been blessed with many excellent young adults who have helped over the years: Counselor Application.

I am very hopeful you can join us!

God bless you in this Easter Season,

Deacon Kevin Braski
