A Few Notes

This Saturday is the First Saturday of the month. If you would like to participate in this devotion, receive Communion on Saturday, go to Confession, pray five decades of the Rosary, and contemplate the mysteries in prayer with our Blessed Mother for fifteen minutes. Offer these things in reparation for sins of blasphemy and ingratitude committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Adoration Chapel will be closing at 8 PM beginning December 12th.

There is a table set up at the main entrance. One box contains the pictures of deceased loved ones which need to be taken home. There are also Oplatky for sale, complimentary Church Calendars, and complimentary books by Matthew Kelly called Holy Moments. Please help yourself.

Our Parish Health Team needs drivers who can take parishioners to their doctor appointments on occasion. If we can add your name to the list, please contact Kathleen HERE with your best contact information.
