A Note from Father Mark
"As Pastor let me extend a warm welcome to you and other viewers who visit our Parish on the Net. I hope you'll find this "extension" of our Parish inviting and interesting. Please know that you are most welcome to visit us, literally, by sharing in weekend worship at our main church, Our Lady of Victory, or our beautiful Chapel, Our Lady of Hope. If I can be of service to you, personally, please don't hesitate to e-mail and I'll return a message a.s.a.p! An anonymous author has written, "There are two words used a great deal by Jesus in the Gospels. One is 'Come' and the other is 'Go'. It's no use coming unless you go, and it's no use going unless you come."
Peace, Fr. Mark Hession

JustFaith Did your religious formation essentially stop with confirmation in your teen years? Are you ready to encounter your faith and the Church’s social mission through adult eyes and with adult experiences as your lens? If so, call John Berry 778-7847 or Theresa Brosnan for more info. There is still room in the group which is forming for Fall.
