PREP/CHI RHO CLASSES: A decision to begin the Fall PREP session has been made to shift to eLearning via ZOOM, at least for the first half of the year. As a result, we have moved the start date of classes to Sunday, October 18th and Monday, October 19th. We ask for your patience during this needed preparation time.

Mass Options are: Saturday, October 10th at 10:00am; Saturday, October 17th at 10:00am; Individual: Any regularly scheduled 5:00pm parish liturgy.
