Community beats

Faith shared beyond Sunday

September 2026 Flock News records home visits to older parishioners, community prayer and outreach: Infant Jesus visited families, Immaculate Conception’s animators reached homebound elders, and St Jude visited a home for the aged. These reports show how local communities support one another through everyday acts of care.
