Our current culture no longer supports a religious way of life, much less a Catholic way. It is not easy to follow Jesus and his Gospel in such an unsettled time. That is precisely why we need each other. Our occasional Town Hall meetings are meant to build a deeper sense of belonging to each other. I hope you will prepare for our next Town Hall Meeting by filling out the following survey.
