National Collection for Catholic Home Missions Appeal Please be generous in supporting the Catholic Home Missions Appeal on April 25. This collection helps to strengthen the Catholic Church in the United States in its 87 mission territories. As the Diocese of Knoxville is one of the smallest dioceses in the nation, it is a direct beneficiary of Catholic Home Missions assistance. Your generosity in support of this appeal is greatly appreciated for the additional blessings it brings to our diocese. Thank you!

What Makes for a Good Homily? Your insights on this question are sought through a national study undertaken by Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology.  

We are looking for Ushers to help us during the evening services of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil. Ushers greet people at the door and make sure that everyone entering the church has a mask on and uses hand sanitizer before going in the Sanctuary. They also help direct people to line up for Holy Communion and to be dismissed after the service is over. If interested, please call the parish office.

Join us on Good Friday, April 2 at 11:00 AM for the Live Stations of the Cross.

A second collection will be taken up on the weekend of March 14 in support of the work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Bishops and Catholic community.

Bethlehem Christian Families, a nonprofit organization through Land of Peace, will be with us speaking about the Christian situation in the Holy Land and selling Crucifixes, religious art work, and rosaries- all made of olive wood which is native to Israel and Bethlehem.

PLEASE HELP: WE ARE LEADING A CAMPAIGN TO COLLECT EASTER CARDS TO GIVE TO SENIORS IN NURSING HOMES, ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES, AND SHUT-INS LOCALLY.
