Staying Safe from Fraudulent Emails

We have been made aware of another round of phishing scams targeting members of our parish. Please do not respond to suspicious messages or share any personal or directory information.

If you receive a message claiming to be from Father Kevin or another member of the church staff that seems unusual, delete it and contact the church office with any questions.

Thank you for helping keep our parish community safe.
