All Council activities have been temporarily suspended in order to help protect our community against the spread of the Coronavirus. Friday Fish Fry’s have been cancelled for the remainder of the Lenten Season. Additional information is available for members and their families on the websites of the CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL and WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. Be aware that the elderly and sick are highly vulnerable to this disease.

Be mindful of God’s love and mercy in this time of high anxiety and remember to be patient, continue to support for others, and pray for a quick end to the pandemic event.  May God bless you, and keep you and your loved ones healthy and safe.
