Congratulations to our Confirmandi

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

God bless our confirmandi who will receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit by the sacrament of Confirmation on Friday, November 7.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, knowledge, Piety, Fortitude (Courage) and Fear (Wonder & Awe) of the Lord.

When we trust in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we are formed as good and holy people, living the fruits of the Holy Spirit in our lives: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, gentleness, modesty, faithfulness, self-control and chastity.

Spaghetti Dinner!

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

On Saturday, November 8, the Knights of Columbus are hosting one of our legendary Spaghetti Dinners for all parishioners and their families after the 4 p.m. Mass.

So please come and join your fellow parishioners for a delicious dinner in the Great Hall. We will be serving spaghetti with homemade sauce, meatballs, sausages, rolls, salad, desserts, and hot and cold beverages. And you can even bring your own adult beverage to accompany your meal.

It’s always a great time filled with food and fellowship. So come out and enjoy the evening with us.

Tickets are available at our table in the Gathering Space after all Masses on November 1 and 2. Ticket prices are $15 for an individual ticket, $25 for a ‘Couples’ ticket, or $35 for a family ticket.  We will accept cash, check or credit card. Tickets paid by credit card are slightly higher.  As usual, all net proceeds from the event will be donated to a local charity.

We hope to see you there!

Celebrating the Canonization of Two Modern Saints: Blessed Carlo Acutis & Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

The Church rejoices in the canonization of two remarkable witnesses of faith: Saint Carlo Acutis and Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati. Though separated by nearly a century, their lives shine with a common thread—an unwavering love for the Eucharist and a contagious joy in living as Christ’s disciples in the modern world.

Parish Picnic

We are excited to see everyone at the picnic this Sunday! Over 550 people signed up to attend! 

Just a couple of notes for all who are attending the picnic:
  • Please give any desserts you bring with you to one of our teen custodians who will have carts in the gathering space as you enter for 10:30 a.m. Mass.
  • We are very excited to have so many parishioners in attendance this year! If you would like to help defray the cost of this year’s picnic, (the cost per person is approximately $30) St. David’s would appreciate any free will offering you would like to make.
