With joyful hearts, we celebrate newly ordained transitional Deacon Benjamin Oursler as he reflects on his journey of faith, his call to serve the Church, and the final steps toward the priesthood.

When families face crisis, we come together to help.

Across our parishes, immigrant families are part of our community—worshipping beside us, raising their children in the faith, and contributing to parish life. Yet when a parent or primary provider is detained or deported, families can be left without the basic resources they need to survive. In these moments of crisis, they turn to the Church.

This fund provides immediate, short-term support to help stabilize families during times of urgent need.
