Forty Hours Devotion
Forty Hours Devotion will take place October 26, 27 and 28. Monday, October 27 at 7:00 p.m. will be the traditional ritual and newly-ordained Fr. Thomas Kappes, who has assisted at our Mass, will be preaching.
All are also invited to adoration from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday evening, interrupted only by the 6:30am morning Masses and the evening devotions, at 7:00pm. Adoration will be in the upper Church during the day, and then move to the lower Chapel from 8:00pm to 6:00am Sunday and Monday nights. You will need a fob to access the lower Chapel handicap door to enter during the night. Should you need a key fob for one of these hours, please contact the parish office as soon as possible to get one.
Solemn Mass Vestments
A second collection will be taken each Sunday to cover the cost of purchasing sets of green and purple vestments for Solemn Mass. If you would like to make a larger donation or a donation in memory of someone, please contact Fr. Tcheou.
