Attention

Please be aware that once again, there has been a reoccurrence of the email scam/spoofing of my account. It is happening here as well as to many of the pastors in the area. As a reminder, ALL communications from me will come from my parish account. If you are in any way suspicious of an email, PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE FIRST TO CONFIRM ITS VALIDITY. – Msgr. Randy
