Christmas Giving Trees
Thanksgiving Day Mass
On Thanksgiving Day, as we gather to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives, we invite everyone to join us for Mass at 9:00 AM. During our Thanksgiving Day Mass, we will bless small loaves of bread made with love by our youth group. Each family will be invited to take a loaf home to share at their Thanksgiving dinner, symbolizing our shared faith and gratitude to God for His abundant blessings. As you break bread together, let it be a reminder of the unity and love we share as a parish community and the importance of giving thanks for the gift of family and friends. Join us in celebrating this sacred moment as we come together in faith and gratitude.
The Rectory office will close at Noon on Wednesday, November 27 so our staff can celebrate with their families. We will reopen at 9 AM on Monday, December 2. The Chapel will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. All Masses will be celebrated as usual each day.

The Flame of Love Holy HourThe Flame of Love (FOL) is Jesus Himself, who desires to empower faithful souls to combat the evils of sin, lukewarmness, and indifference. The FOL Movement revives tepid souls enabling them to embrace: Daily Mass and Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, Holy Hours, and Fasting. The devotion is church approved and has been spreading throughout the United States since 2013. Saving souls is the mission of the Flame of Love. We host a weekly FOL Holy Hour of Reparation in the chapel each Friday from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. For more information, please call Deacon Ron or Julie Kelley at 610-544-0386.
