Weekly Announcement

Month of the Rosary

Wouldn’t it be powerful if a group of us joined together to say the Rosary once each week in October? Bring your Rosary, or use one provided, and honor Our Lady in prayer in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel on Thursdays in October at 5 PM, October 20 and 27. Handouts will be provided for those learning how the Rosary is prayed. Life is busy with work, school, sports and more, and families are constantly on the go! Please consider taking 30 minutes to slow down and join us in praying the Rosary to the best Mother in the world!

Teaching Mass

As part of the preparation and discernment for Confirmation, our candidates participate in a Teaching Mass. This year, the Teaching Mass will be open to the public as it will be at 5 PM on October 23. During the Mass the priest will take breaks to explain different features of the Mass and provide teaching on the background and purpose. As a result, the Mass is typically 90 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes. Please join in if you are interested in this expanded experience.
