September 22, 2018 - November 24, 2019

Father,
You invite each of us to share in the life and ministry of your Son, Jesus. Send your Holy Spirit to form our parish as a community of missionary disciples.
Teach us how to hear Jesus, to love Jesus, and to share your gift of salvation with everyone we meet. Through the witness and intercession of Mary, guide me to deepen my commitment as a disciple of Jesus.
Lead our parish to grow as an intentional community, committed to go and announce the Gospel of the Lord. We ask these blessings in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen

On the first Saturday of the Month at 3:00 pm get a monthly tune up with confession, Mass, Communion and immersing yourself in the mysteries of the Rosary, all offered for the many serious offenses committed against our Blessed Virgin Mary.  Make the first Saturday throughout your life for love of our Lady and reap the spiritual rewards!
