The altar flowers are lovingly provided by the O'Connor and Gentle Family in loving memory of Dennis O'Connor. Thank you for the lovely floral gifts!

Flowers, greenery, and other environment elements will reflect the importance of each liturgical season and feast, allowing our volunteer flower team to share their time and talent wisely. Flowers will be reserved for major feast days throughout the year, rather than every weekend. learn about opportunities to donate toward our environment through November 2026.
