Memorial Day Mass: 10 AM All-Parish Mass

The St. Vitus Catholic War Veterans Post 1655 will celebrate their annual Memorial Mass next Sunday at the 10:00 a.m. All-parish Mass. This Memorial Mass has been celebrated for the past 79 years. During the Mass, every deceased veteran of the parish is remembered, including the 43 parishioners who died for our country. Some have no one left to remember them, but at least once a year, they are remembered at Mass. We invite all to come and celebrate their lives and sacrifices for our country and to join us for fellowship in the parish hall following the Mass.
