40 DAYS TO PEACE & UNION WITH GOD: A Journey in Prayer Through the Daily Gospels Pick up your copy in the church vestibule, Church Hall or Parish Center (outside secretary’s office). A $2 free will offering is suggested.

At 8 AM and 9 AM Masses On Tuesday, February 3, on the memorial of St. Blaise, the custom is to bless the throats of the faithful after Mass. “Through the intercession of St. Blaise, Bishop and Martyr, God deliver you from every disease of the throat from every other illness.”

The Rosary Society and the Social Justice Ministry invite you to join us for the February Rosary in honor of Black History Month on Tuesday, February 3, at 7PM in Our Lady’s Chapel. All are welcome!

The Mass is the center of Christian Life. The Council Fathers at Vatican II called the Mass the source and summit of our lives. The Mass can be a great experience if we understand how to participate. This Lent we will enter as a parish into a seven week experience of the Mass with the great goal of learning how to better pray the Mass, how to gain the most from our time in church. I hope you can join us. Click header for more.
