Wednesdays at 6:30 pm

Father Zelonis will host the Ascension series “Foundations of Faith: A Journey Through the Catechism of the Catholic Church”  

 The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the definitive summary of our Catholic beliefs and practices. Drawing from the riches of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, it highlights how our faith is rooted in the teachings of Christ and his apostles. The Catechism is an essential book for every Catholic to read and understand.

 On Thursday, Nov 20 at 6:30 PM, we are inviting families bereaved since last All Souls Day to join in the praying of Vespers for the blessed repose of all who died in our pastoral care during that time. The service is open to all who have loved and lost. 

 Take a moment to pray for those deceased who received our pastoral care since the last All Souls Day. Throughout November we are especially mindful of the Holy Souls in need of our prayers. Consider visiting the cemeteries in which your loved ones are buried and obtain an indulgence for them `
