Mark your calendars for Life on Fire: our Parish Mission! March 16-20

We're welcoming Father Stan Fortuna, CFR, for a week of inspirational talks and Masses sure to kindle in our hearts the fire of our faith! Mark your calendars and invite your friends.

Of course, since Jesus loved to feed people both spiritually and physically, morning sessions will be followed by a lunch, and evening sessions will have (decaf!) coffee and sweets.

Sign up for a Lenten FSG

It's that time of year - our Faith Sharing Groups are beginning again for Lent! Sign up here to join a group, or contact Tony if you're interested in starting a new one!

Have your picture taken in the new Photo Directory!

FREE photos will be taken by LifeTouch's professional photographers April 30-May 4. Sign up for your family's preferred time slot now!
 

Beware Spam/Phishing emails "from Father George"

No, Father George doesn't need iTunes gift cards for his nephew, and he's probably also not in a meeting unable to call you.

If you see an email that looks like it's from any of our priests or a member of our staff, but the email address isn't from "smparish.org" or looks fishy, please  do not respond. This is a recent scam by people trying to get money out of you by pretending to be your pastor.  Call the Parish Office if you have any questions or want to confirm that it's really Father George sending you the email. We'll be able to help.
