Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

This weekend, our country remembers those souls who died while serving in the United States Military. We offer our prayers and gratitude for all those fallen service men and women.

Happy Fourth,

This week, our 8th graders have their graduation. I am grateful to our middle school teachers and our principal, Mr. Sorci, for all their hard work.

We also celebrate our Kindergarten Promotion this week on Thursday. As we wind down the school year, I am grateful for all of our teachers and staff. We have an incredible school staff and a great community. Please keep our children in prayer as they prepare for the next steps in their academic journey.

Happy Sunday!

Last Saturday, we had a wonderful celebration of First Communion and Confirmation with Bishop Dolan. There were 88 children and adults who received these Sacraments. I am so grateful to our catechists, volunteers, and staff who did such a great job preparing everyone and organizing the day. It was a beautiful celebration and a great witness to the way the Catholic Church is thriving here in Flagstaff.

Happy Sunday!

As I write this we are a week removed from the death of Pope Francis. It has been a time of sadness as we remember such a beloved pope. The nine days of mourning ended this past week and in an odd way our attention turns to the conclave to elect the next Successor of St. Peter.

We continue to pray for Pope Francis but also pray for the cardinals as they gather in Rome to begin the next conclave very soon. Please pray daily for the election of a new pope, that the cardinals will be docile to the Holy Spirit during this very beautiful and solemn time.
