We received word last week from the Archdiocese that Archbishop Rozanski is lifting the dispensation from Sunday worship effective July 1, 2021.  This is another step back to life as we knew it before the pandemic.

Join us for the Corpus Christi Procession on Sunday at 4:30 pm! And mark your calendars!  Thirsty Third Thursdays are back! 

On this weekend of Memorial Day, our thoughts and prayers are with the members of our military who have made the ultimate sacrifice while defending our country. 

Congratulations to our Borgia Grade School 8th graders who will graduate this Monday, May 24th! Tuesday, May 25th, will be our last day of school for this year.  Prayers for a safe and fun summer!

Happy Feast of the Ascension! I hope this Easter time has been a time of blessing for you and a time where you have grown in faith and hope.

Happy Mother’s Day!  What a wonderful day to celebrate our Mothers, Grandmothers, Godmothers, and anyone else who fills that maternal role in our lives.

Our Annual Catholic Appeal effort continues this week. Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the ACA for this year.

It has been so nice to see so many people in Church!  What a blessing it is that we can safely gather, care for each other, and pray together.

As we welcome the new life of this spring season and continue to celebrate the hope and promise Jesus gives us by his Resurrection, we give thanks to God.

Happy Easter! What a great Easter celebration we had in Church!  There are so many people to thank for all that was done to make our Masses so beautiful.

Christ is Risen! Alleluia! On behalf of Fr. Tony, our Deacons, and Parish Staff members, we wish you a Happy and Blessed Easter Day and Easter Season.

Welcome to Holy Week! And congratulations to our students from School and PSR who received their First Holy Communion on Saturday!

Congratulations to our 2nd graders from our Grade School and PSR who will receive their First Communion on Saturday.  We are so excited for them! 

The Deacons of the Archdiocese of St. Louis are sponsoring a Diaper Drive this weekend and next weekend. This is a great opportunity to help those who are less fortunate with this very basic need.  Thanks for any help you can give!

I hope and pray that these days of Lent have been a time of blessing for you and your family.  Let’s pray for each other as we make our way through Lent so that our Easter celebration will be rich and meaningful and give us hope in the midst of our everyday living.

I am going to step aside this week and share a letter from Msgr. Jack Costello, former Pastor of SFB who was well loved when he was here and could use your prayers!

Welcome to the First Sunday of Lent.  My hope and prayer for each of us is that these days of Lent might be a time for some focused prayer, reflection, and charitable works.

Lent begins this week with Ash Wednesday. During this Lent, I hope we all take the opportunity to use this as a time to grow in our faith. 

We had a great celebration of Catholic Schools Week this past week! Ash Wednesday is on February 17th.  We will have Mass here at 7:00 am, 12:00 noon and at 6:30 pm.

Happy Catholic Schools Week!  We have a great week planned - full of activities to highlight the gift of our Catholic School where minds are educated, hearts are nurtured, and faith is strengthened.
