Your Role as Parent
You have the most impact on your child's religious life. When you chose to have your child baptized in the Catholic Church, you took on the responsibility of raising them in the faith. You can help your child by being a good witness of faith. Your child watches what you do and listens to what you say. Your good choices give your child a solid model for his/her future. Please say prayers together, help people who are in need and intentionally show love to your family. Attending Mass together every week to hear God's word and receive the Eucharist is a fundamental part of our faith. Please be attentive to your child's questions and help them to understand our Liturgy.

It appears the Coronavirus pandemic will be affecting our daily life for quite some time. Some of us may find a lot of extra time on our hands while others may need extra assistance during this quarantine. This point in time provides an extraordinary opportunity for us to come together as Burlington area Catholics. 

Members from your parish outreach committee will be calling to check on your wellbeing and to assess your needs. We will be able to provide help in the following ways:

• Weekly grocery services – help with ordering online, pickup and delivery
• On-call errand service for any immediate needs
• Neighborhood volunteers to check in on you

Although our volunteers will be concentrating on calling elderly parishioners over the age of 70, these services are open to any parishioner who is isolated in quarantine. This includes parents with young children at home or medically fragile members who do not want to leave their homes. Please do not hesitate to call if you would like help or know a fellow parishioner who may need some! If you would like to volunteer, please call your parish coronavirus outreach coordinator:
