We will now be saying the Rosary before each of our weekend Masses. The Rosary will start at approx 3:45pm on Saturday and 9:45 am on Sunday. We say the Rosary before every weekday Mass and will bring this new tradition to the weekends. It allows us to pray together as a parish family and prepare ourselves before we celebrate Mass.

Time to Enroll in the First Friday Mass League. Intentions will begin November 4, 2011 and run until October 5, 2012. The offering for this Annual Mass League is $60 for each Intention.
