The parish is urging younger donors, especially those aged 20-40, to consider donating blood. Most donors are older and unable to keep up with the need. If you are aged 16 or above, with parental consent, you can help save lives by donating blood. Call or go online to make an appointment today.

Join us in welcoming new members to our parishes. If you are new or looking to get involved, reach out to the parish office for more information. We are excited to have you be a part of our community.
