Recently, a number of our parishioners  joined a team of volunteers to completely reconstruct and rebuild the Fayette Cares Garden of Caring.  Over the years, the garden had fallen into disrepair and was badly in need of some "tender, loving care".

YouTube

We will be airing live video of Mass this weekend on our YouTube channel.

Sunday Mass in English will air at 10:30 AM.

Hint:  Is the image that you are seeing on YouTube darker than it should be?  If so, and if you 
are mirroring the Mass to your "smart" TV from an iPad, you may want to try going directly to YouTube from the TV.  It has been reported that doing so may provide a much brighter picture on a "smart" TV.

Click HERE to visit the channel and then click on "Videos".
