Father Allen wishes to celebrate the daily Mass here, so, please mark your calendars: next week DAILY MASS WILL BE AT 8AM. This gives Father time to get to the retreat. This is a TEMPORARY CHANGE.

The Holy Rosary will be led by Women's Group after Mass on Thursdays. All are welcome to pray with us.
NOTE: When the church front door lights are on, the church is open for silent prayer during Office Hours:
