During these unprecedented times all of us are challenged to live our faith responsibly and creatively, while affirming that it’s not church walls that contain our faith, but our hearts where our Lord Jesus Christ appears to us “even though the doors are shut” to grant us His peace (John 20:19).
In Christ’s love,
Fr. Evan Evangelidis, Presiding Priest and Mr. Chris Vlahakis, Parish Council President
