Summer Office Hours (Memorial Day 5/30 - Labor Day 9/5:
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.
Please use the parking lot side entrance to enter the church. Adoration allows for prayer within a socially distanced context while in church. Silence is observed at all times. All are welcome.
NOTE:
During the summer months, many of our parishioners are away on vacation and/or experience a change in their daily routines. Consequently, it can be difficult to assure a continual presence of people in church during our 3:00 - 6:00 pm period of Eucharistic Adoration.
Therefore, Eucharistic Adoration will be suspended for the months of June, July, and August. Our last observance of Adoration will be Wednesday, May 25th. We will resume Eucharistic Adoration on Wednesday, September 7th, 2022.
Praying the Rosary after 9 am weekday Mass
A group of parishioners frequently joins 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!
