Holy Hour of Reparation
February 14th, following 12 pm Mass
Come join us on the second Friday of each month in reciting aloud these vocal prayers in reparation for sins committed against the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asked his disciples, "Could you not watch one hour with me?" Perhaps the comfort that the angel came to give Our Lord was the message of so many souls down through time who would come to be with him and make reparation. Booklets provided

President's Day Holy Hour
Monday, Feb. 17th following 12:00 Noon Mass
Come spend an hour with us in solemn Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament as we honor our former presidents who defended and upheld our freedoms and also to pray for the office of the presidency and for its current and future occupants. We will never cease calling for the defense of our freedoms, especially the freedom of religion. Nor will we cease to pray for those entrusted with authority over us, that they allow themselves to be humbly guided by Truth and blessed with true wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Shrove Tuesday Mass of the Holy Face
Tuesday, March 4th, 12:00 noon*
Following Mass, we will pray in reparation before a blessed image of the Holy Face, 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 to be the day before Ash Wednesday so that this devotion could be practiced in the Church. More Info. HERE.
*Begin the 9 Day Novena to the Holy Face on Sun., Feb. 23rd.
In preparation for the Holy Face Feast Day, we will pray this novena together at OLC after all 12:00 Noon Weekday Masses. As we are closed on the weekends, we will pray on our own. Prayer intentions and daily novena prayers are posted HERE.

Stations of the Cross
Fridays during Lent in the Chapel after both the 12:00 Noon and 7:30 pm Masses. Join us as we pray the Way of the Cross together.
