In the winter we can have slippery, icy conditions and this year is particularly bad with the crazy weather we have been having! We try to keep our walkways and parking lots clear and/or sanded, but with the quickly changing temperatures and varying precipitation, we are not always successful. Please be careful when coming/leaving our churches and halls, whether it be day or evening, for mass or meetings, etc..... Thank you!
