In Thanksgiving for Our own Church


    O God, Who did restore to the Jews returning from exile, their beloved temple, we give Thee thanks that we have a house dedicated to Your worship, a church in which You will be glorified. 
    May it always be the house of God, the gate of Heaven. In  it may Your Divine Life be given in Baptism, Your grace be restored in penance, Your Body be received in the Blessed Eucharist, Your strength shared in Confirmation, Your family be perpetuated in Holy Matrimony, the sick healed by the oil of Extreme Unction.
   In it may the words of Your revealed truth be preached.  On it's altar may You, the High Priest, again make present Your saving sacrifice.  May its tabernacle be the throne from which You rule.
   This we humbly ask through Christ our Lord.  Amen

After 17 years of happy cooperation with the Carmelite Sisters we sadly say goodbye.
Please keep them in your prayers.  

Also after 14 years of having had our weekday Masses at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, we wish to thank them for allowing the usage of their facility. 

We also thank those who have prayed for many years for this new Church.
