Msgr. Tom's Weekly Message

Join us for Adoration this Sunday

Sunday, April 30 | 7:10pm

Amidst the busyness and chaos of our lives, it can be challenging to find moments of solitude and peace. Yet, just as Jesus needed time away to pray and connect with His Father, we too can benefit from moments of Adoration.

We invite you to join us for Adoration, a time of quiet contemplation, inspiring music and prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Whether you come for a few minutes or for an extended period, Adoration provides a unique opportunity to sit in the presence of our Lord and experience His loving and healing grace.
