In the midst of these extraordinary times, we invite you to be joined in quiet prayer and reflection in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. In sacred silence, we find peace, strength, and grace for the journey of life.

Praying the Rosary after 9 am weekday Mass
Parishioners frequently join to pray the rosary in the church following the 9 am weekday Masses.
This endeavor has been well received. During these extraordinary times of anxiety and uncertainty, many appreciate the opportunity to pray for peace and reconciliation in our nation, our communities, our families, and our hearts.
All in attendance at the Mass are welcome to participate!
