We will gather at the chapel or the place where most of our parishioners are burried, following by individual blessing of graves.

* THE CHILDREN LITURGY OF THE WORD DURING MASS. Next Sunday, November 1, we continue with the monthly Children's Liturgy of the Word during the regular 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass. The Children's Liturgy of the Word is intended for children aged 4 to 7, or those who have not yet received First Holy Communion. Children of all ages are welcome, though those under 4 must be accompanied by an adult. This provides children with the opportunity to hear and explore the Sunday Gospel in a way that is engaging, accessible, and age-appropriate. During the liturgy, the children hear the Sunday Gospel presented in a manner suited to their age. They reflect on and discuss the Gospel together and participate in activities such as colouring, crafts, puzzles, word searches, mazes, and more. After the homily, the children return to the church to join their families for the Liturgy of the Eucharist and the remainder of the Mass.

* CROATIAN CHRISTMAS MARKET. Croatian Christmas Market is being held in our church hall November 29, 2026. If you are interested in being a vendor and displaying your wonderful crafts or being a volunteer, please reach out to CroatianChristmasMarket@outlook.com for more information. We look forward to hearing from you.
