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

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.
