We hope you’ll consider being with us tomorrow, Saturday, September 5, to share in the vital work of Saint Andy’s Food Pantry and Clothing Closet, along with Saint Clare’s Pet Food Pantry! We gather in the Parish Hall from 8:15am to 10:50am.

In the coming weeks, Saint Andrew’s will begin livestreaming our Sunday 10:30am Solemn Masses to YouTube rather than to our Facebook page, as we have done since the pandemic.

As part of this internship, Nic will share regularly in service at the altar on Sundays and other Holy Days, participate regularly in outreach projects and Christian formation, and more.
