Year_of_Mercy_ICONPope Francis has announced an Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy which began with the opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome on December 8, 2015, and will conclude with its closing on November 20, 2016. The Adult Faith Formation and Service Commissions have been inspired by the Pope’s call and would like to recognize the ways we as a Parish are already performing spiritual and corporal acts of mercy and raise consciousness of more that we can do. Throughout the coming weeks and months look to this section of the website as we explore how we, as a parish and as individuals, can respond to the Pope’s call for mercy and kindness.
