Confession
Got Sin? We all do! We are blessed to experience the gifts of God’s boundless mercy, have our sins forgiven, and our friendship with God restored through Confession, also known as, the Sacrament of Penance & Reconciliation.
Whether you have confessed recently, or have been away from the sacrament for years, we welcome and invite you back to experience this beautiful sacrament of healing.
Confession times: Saturdays at 3:30 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. or contact the Parish Office to schedule a private appointment.
Examination of Conscience
To prepare to receive the Sacrament of Penance & Reconciliation, it is helpful to do an Examination of Conscience first – examples for children, young adults, single, and married people are found here.
Blessed is the one whose fault is removed, whose sin is forgiven. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit”. Psalm 32:1-2

Pray the Rosary, Change the World
Rosary
The Rosary is a powerful prayer that honors the Blessed Mother, Mary, and allows us to meditate on Scripture and the key moments during Jesus’ earthly life. Many graces have been promised to those who devoutly pray the Rosary.
The Rosary may be prayed individually or with a group.

- First Saturdays of the month at 7:40 a.m.
- First Wednesdays of the month at 6:00 p.m. (prayer led by the A&R Society)

“The Rosary is the ‘Weapon’ for These Times”. ~ Saint Padre Pio
Spiritual Work Of Mercy
Prayer Intention
Offering prayers for the living and deceased is a Spiritual Work of Mercy. In addition to Mass cards, we offer weekly Altar flowers, Sanctuary vigil candles, and votive candle intentions – these are beautiful ways to offer special prayer intentions for loved ones or in Thanksgiving to God.
To schedule a Mass, Altar Flowers, or Sanctuary Candle intention for your loved one, please call or visit the Parish Office from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday-Thursday to check availability. The name of the loved one will be announced in the bulletin so that all may join in praying for your intention.
Jesus spoke to them again saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
Mass Cards
Mass Intentions
Dedicating a Mass to be celebrated for one’s intentions is not only a beautiful Catholic tradition but a comfort to relatives, friends, and other loved ones. A Mass may be offered in remembrance of someone who is deceased or as a special intention for someone living such as; a birthday, anniversary, for someone’s healing, thanksgiving, or any other special intention.
The scheduled Mass date, time, and loved one’s name will be announced in our bulletin.
The offering of a stipend is $10.00 per Mass request for both weekday or Sunday Masses. Mass cards may be received at your request.

A beautiful arrangement of flowers may be requested and will be placed at the foot of the altar in memory of a deceased loved one or for a special intention for someone living. The Altar flower prayer intention will be remembered for a week and announced in the weekly bulletin.
