Labor Day is Monday, September 4. This year we recognize, thank and ask God to bless the millions of people across our country who work every day to take care of their families. We work to put food on the table, to put our children through school to support our parishes and to obtain the basic simple pleasures in life. Thank you Lord for our work; it is our work that makes America great! HOLIDAY HOURS: In observance of Labor Day, Sept. 4th, the parish office will be closed on Monday.
