First Holy Communion 2023

We congratulate the following students who received their First Holy Communion on Sunday, June 25th.

  • Isabella Castillo,
  • Max Catano,
  • Charlyne McCart,
  • Emmanuel Patino.

I would like to thank parents who exhibited dedication and support by bringing their children for classes on Sundays and Wednesdays. My words of appreciation to Deacon Bill who helped me teach classes when I was not able to do so due to my other commitments or meetings on some Sundays. -Fr. Joseph

First Holy Communion classes begin September 10th.

The bread and wine become the Body and Blood of our Lord during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the priest says the words of consecration which Jesus used during the Last Supper: This is My Body… This is My Blood. (PNCC Catechism).

Free Town Picnic 2023

The parish town picnic, held Sunday, June 4th, was a huge success. It got bigger this year.

As always, the food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you to the chefs Ed Obssuth, Dave Obssuth, Dominick Bucci and Tracey Banta for a job well done. Thanks to all that donated desserts and homemade dishes to share with friends. We thank those who set up the hall and tents before the event: Penni Lazor, Fran Cuccinello, Matthew Daniewski, Dominick Bucci and those who cleaned after the event, Hernan Patino, Laura Orrego, Diego Ochoa, Iris Miolan and others. I was impressed seeing so much new energy in many parishioners helping at the picnic. Children and adults enjoyed fun and games including a 16’ water slide, dunk tank, “blake the clown”, face painting, balloon twisting, a touch of nature (20 animals on display that gave some educational tips). Many thanks to the Picnic Committee for planning and volunteering their time and talent to make the day fun filled for the young and adults.

Parishioners, friends, children, neighbors and Woodland Park residents all came together and enjoyed the afternoon festivities.

Many thanks to all that participated in any way with helping to make it a great day for all. This event was considered as an outreach program to our community supported by the diocese. As a result, we had people who signed up to become members of our parish and their children will attend First Holy Communion and Confirmation classes.

Looking forward to 2024’s picnic.

God Bless Layla

The Sacrament of Baptism – Layla R. LaMendola – daughter of Charles & Nicole (née Sigtermans) LaMendola was baptized on Sunday, June 4th. Proud godparents were: Jeffrey Sigtermans and Christine Gonzalez. Congratulations!

We congratulate the LaMendola and Mazur and Bartolomeo families as well as grandparents, family members and friends on this special occasion. The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith, is a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through this sacrament we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s body – His Church. As God made the covenant with his people so through Baptism, Jesus makes a new and everlasting covenant with his followers. As the waters of the Red Sea led the people of Israel to freedom so the water of Baptism gave new life and led to Salvation. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish pledge to help this child to grow in Christian faith.
