HOLY HOUR FOR PRIESTS

Every Tuesday the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m.  It is an hour of prayer for the priests, DIVINE MERCY and religious men and women of the church.  Prayers are also said for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life. 

We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests.  The Holy Hour closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.  If you cannot join us in church, we ask you to join us from a quiet spot in your home and pray with us, asking the Lord to guide and protect our priests. 

Holy Day of Obligation

On Thursday, May 29th, we will celebrate Ascension Thursday with an anticipated Mass on Wednesday, May 28th at 6:30 p.m. and on Thursday, May 29th Masses at 7 a.m., 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.  No Novena!
