Winter Supper - April 6th

Thank you to everyone who helps shop, cook, prep or pack for Winter and Summer Suppers or donates to the Poor Box for Catholic Charities Dinners! During Holy Week, on Thursday, April 6th, we will pack a special Easter Supper for our homeless neighbors. Because the first Thursday of the month falls on Holy Thursday, we will need extra helpers to make sure that Shea Hall is completely cleaned and cleared ahead of the 7pm Holy Thursday of the Lord's Passion Mass at St. Julian. The Altar of Repose will be setup in Shea Hall and all attending Mass will be invited to visit the Altar following Mass.

Be an Adorer

Starting in Easter, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament is 

excited to introduce a new and expanded schedule for Eucharistic Adoration. Come rest in silence with our Lord and listen for the call of the Holy Spirit on Wednesdays, Saturdays and First Fridays.

Now more than ever, the Church needs your steadfast support. Your participation in our parish’s weekly offertory and in the Annual Catholic Appeal is essential to maintaining the
