First Friday Adoration Begins on October 2nd

We still have a few Adorer time slots that need to be filled.

Spending just one hour with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is a beautiful way to grow in faith, find peace, and pray for the needs of our parish and loved ones.

Please prayerfully consider making this commitment and helping ensure that every hour is covered. Your presence makes a difference.

Priesthood Sunday - September 27th - 28th

Priesthood Sunday is a special day set aside to honor the priesthood in the United States. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church.

There are many ways to celebrate this event, some ideas include letting him know you enjoyed his homily, either in person or by giving him a card with a note of appreciation. In a way this is another “Father’s Day," our Spiritual Father.

Ministry Schedule

Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Please pray for the sick and homebound members of our parish, that God may grant them healing, strength, and comfort. We also lift up in prayer all those serving in the military, asking the Lord to protect them and bring them safely home to their families. May we also remember our priests, deacons, and all who serve the Church, that they may be blessed with wisdom, courage, and perseverance as they faithfully carry out their ministry. Let us keep all those in need of God's grace and mercy in our prayers.
