🕊️ St. Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charities and volunteers, symbolizes the spirit of service embodied by our SVDP outreach group, offering essential assistance to those in need in our community.
⚖️ St. Thomas the Apostle, patron saint of judges and architects, honors Fr. Tom Cloherty's leadership in remodeling our parish campus, reflecting his dedication and vision.
🌾 St. Pius X, a reformer of the Church and patron saint of Communicants and pilgrims, signifies our commitment to fostering spiritual growth and pilgrimage experiences, particularly through Holy Communion.
🌿 St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of the environment, animals, and peace, inspires stewardship of creation and advocacy for harmony in our world.
