First Saturday Devotion

Saturday, May 7 | QR

“Look at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least, try to console me and announce that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall: go to confession, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while

meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.”

–Words of Our Lady of Fatima

Grounds & Garden Refresh

As part of our celebrations to honor Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, we are updating our grounds, especially our Marian Gardens and behind the Rectory. We'll be adding flowers with special significance to Our Lady in the Marian Gardens at each worship site, and adding a patio and gazebo at the rectory for our clergy to use for small group meetings and entertaining. 

To help with this project, please review the wish list to sign up. Alternately, you may drop an envelope marked "Grounds & Garden" into the offertory or contact the parish office to make a monetary donation to help with our Grounds & Garden refresh.
