“The death of the Lord our God should not be a cause of shame for us; rather, it should be our greatest hope, our greatest glory. In taking upon himself the death that he found in us, he has most faithfully promised to give us life in him, such as we cannot have of ourselves.” — St. Augustine

We give glory to You, Lord, who raised up Your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living. We give glory to You who put on the body of a single mortal man and made it the source of life for every other mortal man. – St. Ephrem of Edessa

Holy Hour - Pentecost
Join us for a special holy hour at 6:30pm as we pray for the Holy Spirit to animate, inspire and guide us to be true followers of Christ
Pentecost Sunday
When the Holy Spirit came to the Upper Room where the disciples and the Blessed Mother were praying on Pentecost, ten days after our Lord’s Ascension into Heaven, it was with great power, in the form of a driving wind and "tongues as of fire" (Acts 2:3) descending on each of them. Come Holy Spirit fill us with courage to witness our faith with boldness!
Join us for Adoration immediately following the 4:30pm Mass until Benediction and Solemn Evening Prayer at 6pm.
Confirmation
God, we pray that you look kindly on our candidates for Confirmation as they seek to hear your voice. Come Holy Spirit!
Most Holy Trinity Sunday
The Trinity is one of the most fundamental beliefs of the Catholic Church. Why is Holy Trinity Sunday after Pentecost? If we desire to understand the Trinity, we need to have the gift of the Holy Spirit; we can never fully understand who God is on our own and desperately need his guidance and inspiration.
First Friday Adoration
Adoration will begin immediately following the 7am Mass and continue until Benediction at 5pm. Jesus invites you to come and rest in His love.
Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, historically known by its Latin name, Corpus Christi, celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Holy Hour for Graduates and those in transition
Join us in church as we pray in a special way for recent graduates and those facing new transitions in life.
