Adoration Holy Hour, Wednesday, November 15, 7:00 - 8:00 pm.
Everyone is invited to join us for an hour of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the church. During the Holy Hour, there will be reflective music, prayer time, and Confessions available.
During the month of November we remember All Souls
who have departed this world to be with God in Heaven. You are invited to write the name(s) of your loved ones in our Book of Remembrance located by the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in the front left corner of church.
God Bless You,
Father John Mitchell

Answer to the Trivia Question of the Week
b) stoup
The word “stoup” comes from the Old Norse word “staup”, of Germanic origin; related to the Middle English verb “steep” which means to soak food in water or another liquid so as to extract its flavor or to soften it; or to soak or saturate a cloth in water or other liquid.
