Last Saturday we celebrated a special Mass for all the Essential Workers who have sacrificed so much in service to our community during this pandemic.
Please continue to keep all our essential workers in your prayers. Attached is Deacon Steve's homily from the Mass.
The holy season of Lent begins next week on Ash Wednesday, February 17th. Masses with the distribution of ashes will be celebrated at 7:30am, 12:10pm, and 7:30pm. Following the example of Pope Francis, ashes will be sprinkled on the head rather than applied directly to the forehead.
**Fr. Canisius will also distribute ashes outside of the church from 1:00pm-1:30pm for those who would like to receive ashes but are not comfortable coming into the church for Mass. Please wear your mask and maintain a 6ft. distance from others waiting to receive.
During Lent, we will once again pray the Stations of the Cross each Friday evening at 7:30pm, beginning on February 19th. Due to the pandemic, there will NOT be a meal beforehand this year.
Our Adult Faith Formation ministry will also be providing resources for prayer and spiritual reflection throughout the season of Lent. To receive these resources, just join the Adult Faith Formation group in Flocknote by clicking here:
