Shrove Tuesday Mass of the Holy Face
Tuesday, March 1st, 12:00 noon
Following Mass, we will pray in reparation before a blessed image of the Holy Face which was installed in our chapel in 2016. This image, which hangs between the confessional doors, is a copy of the very same image to which St. Therese was dedicated, a reproduction of the image known as "Vera Effigies” of the veil of Veronica. In 1958, Pope Pius XII declared the feast of the Holy Face of Jesus to be the day before Ash Wednesday (Shrove Tuesday) so that this devotion could be practiced in the Church.

A Warm Welcome Back for Zachary King
The chapel was full for the talk given by former Satanist High Wizard Zachary King, whose radical conversion into a devout Catholic is a stunning and glorious witness to the power of Divine Mercy. Zachary answered numerous questions and even came down to the conference room to spend more time helping those in attendance understand the nature and limits of evil. Despite the loss of his eyesight and one foot, he is a relentless and dedicated warrior in the fight for life. Learn more about Zachary HERE and HERE.
