All other evening meetings, events, and groups - please contact the leader of your group/event to see if it will still meet. Do not contact the parish office.

New Additional Weekly Confession Time!

We have had such a beautiful renaissance of God's mercy as more and more souls take advantage of the Sacrament of Confession that we have added an additional weekly time for the Sacrament! 

Confessions will now be on Saturdays from 3:30-4:30pm and on Monday nights from 8-9pm. 

Please come and have your sins forgiven - now available on Mondays too!

Passing of the Flame

Our Blessed Mother requested we celebrate the Feast of the Flame of Love on Candlemas, as it was already a feast of light. We honor her request by praying the devotion she gave to Elizabeth Kindlemann, the Hungarian mystic.

Promises of the Flame of Love Devotion:

- Blinding of Satan with the Unity Prayer

- Many souls (especially Priests) released from Purgatory

- Quick release from Purgatory for Priests (8 days)

- Quick release from Purgatory for family members (1 day after fast)

- Conversion of many souls throughout the world

- Blessings for dying souls all over the world

Our Mother’s Heart breaks for all her lost Children!

Let us assist her in this mission of worldwide conversion

And salvation of souls!
