  The month of July is dedicated
  to the Precious Blood of Jesus
   Blood is Life. His blood is the source of our
 life! St. Joseph saved Jesus from King Herod.
  Herod stands for all the forces that tend to
drive Jesus out of our lives, summed up under
 three heads: - The World, the Flesh, and the
    Devil. How can we save the life of Jesus          AŌer the 9:30am and 11:00am
