The three traditional pillars of Lent are Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Through the three pillars of Lent, we journey to develop a closer relationship with God. The 40 days of Lent should be filled with reflection, service, and prayer.

Join us for Stations of the Cross following the 5:00 pm Mass each Friday during Lent, and Lenten Soup Supper follows the Stations of the Cross in the Parish hall.

Tuesdays through Fridays during Lent, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the Altar  Following the morning Mass until 4:00 pm, the faithful visit and spend time with  our Lord in prayer.

We will have a difference schedule for the New year time.
