To participate, please sign up to donate at our Masses on the weekends of July 5/6 and 12/13 or use this link to do it online. We encourage you to keep an eye out for further details coming soon! Your contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of those in need!
Faith Formation Registration: The family is often referred to as the "domestic church," serving as the primary educator of our Catholic faith. Our mission is to support you in nurturing and guiding your children, grandchildren, and neighbors in our shared Catholic beliefs. As parents, we invest time in a variety of activities for our children, including homework, sports, music and dance lessons, tutoring, martial arts, and clubs. While these opportunities are undoubtedly valuable, it is crucial not to overlook the most significant lesson of all: preparing for our inevitable meeting with God. Are we adequately equipped for this encounter? For information on available classes, schedules, registration details, and forms, please visit this link or stop by the Community Center to speak with a member of our Faith Formation team. We are here to assist you in this vital journey of faith.
Vacation Bible School (VBS): This is a fun-filled program many churches offer, usually during the summer months, to connect with the children and families in their communities. We have Jesus—our true north, which is this year's VBS theme! Give kids a rock-solid foundation and point them to Jesus, their unmovable, unshakable friend forever!

Funeral Announcements: Have you ever noticed a familiar name in the In Remembrance section of our bulletin and felt disheartened by the lack of information regarding the funeral arrangements? We understand how important it is to stay informed during such difficult times, and we are committed to improving this experience for our community. With the family's permission, we will now be publishing upcoming funeral dates and times on the screens before Mass, as well as on our website. Please note that the information displayed on the screens will be specific to that week only. Click here to view the webpage. Thank you for your support as we strive to keep our community connected during these moments of remembrance.
We Are Always In Need Of Sponsors: Those journeying through the sacraments of initiation, like Becoming Catholic (OCIA) or Confirmation, are on a journey that allows interested individuals an opportunity to examine the Christian faith in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The people on this wonderful faith journey need a partner, a fellow traveler, because sometimes the road is difficult, and it’s not always easy to see where it’s leading. They need a companion, a guide, and a friend who knows the way. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or have any questions, please contact Mary Thompson (303-907-0451 or mary.thompson782@gmail.com) or Deacon Dan Maier (702-325-5975 or dcndan@stmlv.org).
