Letter from Bishop Lou regarding Lenten Regulations.

Daily Mass – During Lent 2024 we will offer an additional Mass, Monday-Friday. Attending daily Mass is a great way to prepare yourself Easter. Join us Monday – Friday at 7:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m. or 5:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 8:00 a.m.

Confession – Monday – Friday (Feb. 15-Mar. 27, 2024), 5:00 p.m.; Thursday, 8:30 a.m.; Saturday, 8:30 a.m., 3:00 p.m. Penance Service at  6:00 p.m. on Mar. 20, 2024.

Stations of the Cross – We will pray the Stations of the Cross each Friday of Lent following the 5:30 p.m. Mass, approximately at 6:00 p.m. Our 7th grade students from St. Philomena School will present their Living Stations on Friday, March 1 at the same time. This will take the place of the regular praying of the Stations for that Friday.

Mission on the Eucharist – Fr. Luke Spannagel will be with us March 9-13, 2024 for a special Lenten Mission on the Eucharist. He will preach all Masses on March 9-10, and then give talks March 11-13 in the church after the 5:30 p.m. Mass.
