Our Prayer and Worship Committee will host an Open House for the Stewardship Library as well as the Parish Library immediately following the 10am Mass on Sunday, February 7. What a perfect time to stock up on some reading materials before Lent begins.
The Stewardship Library, which is a product of Lighthouse Catholic Media, and our Parish Library are located in the hallway outside of our Parish Community Room where refreshments will be served during the Open House.
The recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is held in Church every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:15am and on Sunday at 10:45am unless otherwise noted. This prayer uses traditional rosary beads to meditate upon and ask for the infinite mercy of God that was poured out upon the world through the passion of Jesus Christ.
The prayers of the Chaplet were given by Jesus to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) with the promise of many powerful graces as a fruit of this prayer.

The Prayer and Worship Committee will hold an organizational meeting immediately following the 10am Mass on Sunday, January 10. The meeting will take place in Father Harrison’s office.
New members are most welcome! Please come and share your ideas for upcoming spiritual activities for our parish.
Our new Resource Center, a ministry of Lighthouse Catholic Media, is located opposite the Parish Community Room. It is filled with material that is free of charge. Gift donations are accepted from parishioners to help cover the cost to replenish items in our display.
A variety of CDs with talks from the greatest Catholic speakers of our time are available on various topics along with other resources such as books, booklets and pamphlets.
