Ask Father Bandura

Have you ever had a question about the faith you wanted an answer to but never had opportunity to ask?  At our most recent Pastoral Council meeting, we discussed ways to provide ongoing opportunities for the adults of our parish to grow in their faith.   

Through the discussion of the council, the suggestion was made that we provide parishioners the opportunity to submit questions, which would then be answered in the bulletin. 

Use the area below to write your question.  You will have the opportunity to include your name or ask the question confidentially.   Thank you for participating!
