Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

We set aside the first Monday of each month for 12 hours of perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Volunteers are present throughout the day so that Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is never alone. We close at 7pm with an hour of prayer and thanksgiving. Everyone is welcome to spend time with our loving Lord.

Parish Liturgy and Worship Committee

Did you ever wonder why the weekly liturgies in our parish are so vibrant, so prayerful? Did you ever wonder who helps coordinate the readings, music, environment, the feasts and seasons of the church year so that we might celebrate them more meaningfully and prayerfully?

Behind the scenes is a dedicated group of people called the Worship Committee. They value liturgy and are knowledgeable concerning liturgical documents and traditions. They come together regularly to pray, plan and prepare how to make the gathering of our parish family more meaningful.
