SHARELIFE SUNDAY
ShareLife Celebrates 50 years!
Through ShareLife, you support human connection
On the 60th World Day of Social Communication, we are invited to pause and connect with each other—for the Church, for the world, and for the future we are helping to shape together. In this moment, one truth remains clear: the Church endures because of the strength and love of parishioners like you.
Your support of ShareLife supports human connection across the world, making a difference in the lives of thousands of people in our community and beyond—funding more than 40 agencies, which help children and youth, families in crisis, seniors, immigrants and refugees, people with special needs, international development and missions, and vocations
So far, we have raised $36,980.00 towards our goal of $78,500.00. Thank you for your support!
You may give to the parish campaign anytime - at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, or

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.
And Jesus came and said to them, “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28.16-19
WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS May 17
On this day, Catholics are invited to reflect upon the media (films, radio, television, newspapers, audiovisuals) and how these influence our lives. The media can promote values that lead to a more fully human society. The media can be used to help promote the Gospel. Ordo, 2025-2026, p. 137
