Families from St. Boniface and St. Lawrence gathered together to create beautiful Advent wreaths and learned how they can use these wreaths for family prayer in their homes during the season of Advent.

A big thank you goes out to Susana Falck who was instrumental in designing the wreath and teaching the families how to create it, as well as to the group of parish ladies (and friends) who gathered to prepare th...

Take advantage by reading, praying and simply being thankful God reached out to us.

November 24 - Many of us prefer THANKSGIVING to most other holidays. It’s not spoiled by commercialism, the meal is based on comfort food, the football is fabulous and the day revolves around family. With the Pilgrims, the underlying principle had one other key element, gratitude to God. It remembers that despite our hard work, all good things ultimately come from God.

Sunday the 3rd at 3pm, we serenade Mary with classical songs of beauty and peace.
