WELCOME TO ST. GREGORY'S COMMUNITY
WELCOME TO ST. GREGORY'S COMMUNITY May is a busy and exciting time here at St. Gregory's. It was wonderful to have Bishop Kmiec with us this past week to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation as 170 of our young people affirmed their identity in our Catholic faith. It was also a privilege to celebrate First Holy Communion with 190 of our parish children. I ask you to join me in keeping all of our newly initiated parishioners in prayer. As your pastor I am always interested in your ideas, comments or questions, and would enjoy hearing from you. You can reach me, Fr. Joe Gatto, by telephone at 688-5678 or by e-mail at jgatto@stgregs.org.

CATHOLICS COME HOME
To paraphrase Marv Levy: "Where would you rather be -- right here, right now -- than a member of the Catholic faith. After viewing this enlightening and inspiring video (click on the Catholics Come Home link below, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the image above the title "Epic"), your answer may very well be, "Nowhere else". If events and circumstances of the past few years have driven you away from the Catholic faith, this Web site and video can be a step toward changing your mind and your heart -- and bringing you home. For more information, continue to browse the Catholics Come Home Web site. You will also find this site under Catholic Links on the left-hand side of the homepage.
