Pope Francis and Archbishop Chaput are guiding
the church to continue to pray for an end to the
death and destruction of life especially in the

for our men and women in battle.
On Sunday the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed

day with Benediction.
Monday the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all
day after the 8AM Mass. That evening we are
inviting all of our sick and suffering members to
join us for a service of healing. If you are struggling
from a physical or mental illness, or simply need the
special grace offered to the sick please try to attend.
Tuesday the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all
day after the 8AM Mass. That evening we will
celebrate Mass at 7Pm offering our prayers and
intentions for Peace and Protection of our Military
Personnel and families. Please join us during this
special time of grace to our Parish and be inspired
by the real presence of the Lord.
