The Seven Sorrows Devotions
Weekly on Tuesdays & Fridays at 11 am
followed by our regular rosary at 11:30 pm and Mass at noon.
Join us as we honor Our Lady of Sorrows.
We pray this Rosary to learn to suffer with love, as did the Blessed Mother. The Seven Sorrows Rosary leads us to understand suffering, sins, and sorrows. As we pray with our Sorrowful Mother, we begin to feel empathy for the suffering Our Lady, Our Lord, our neighbors, and ourselves. Learn more about it HERE.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD:
St. Blaise Feast Day Blessing of Throats
at the 12:00 noon Mass
Join us for Mass and have your throat blessed with candles. This tradition dates back to the 4th century after St. Blaise, a bishop and martyr saved a boy choking on a fishbone. We invoke St. Blaise for his protection against any physical ailment of the throat. Let us also pray for protection against any spiritual ailment which may find vent through our throats: profanity, cursing, unkind remarks, or gossip.
