How to Pray Series in Parish Hall, Sunday, 9:30am
This Sunday morning, May 17, at 9:30am, we'll also begin our monthly in-person series on How to Pray where we'll discuss different types of prayer and practice them together. This month, we're focusing on Liturgy of the Hours, the prayer that clergy and religious are obligated to pray throughout the day, but which is open to anyone to pray, as well. We will hold a second, repeat session May 28 at 6:30pm in Weitzel Hall. Come learn about this beautiful form of prayer! RSVP HERE.

Fr. Travis' May 10 Homily
Why do so many Catholics struggle to share their faith? In this homily, Fr. Travis Stephens uses the unexpected story of a timid rescue cat named “Marshmallow” to explain what the Sacrament of Confirmation is really about.

Invite One Person to Adoration
Adoration hours have expanded from 6am-10pm daily, so we need many new adorers!
Already a scheduled adorer? INVITE ONE person to commit to adoring once a week! Requesting a substitute is easy, and you're much more likely to spend time with Jesus if you're scheduled to be there.
There are NO adorers scheduled to be with Jesus at the hours listed below. Having scheduled adorers enables our parish to offer adoration for everyone. Is God calling you to sign up for a weekly or monthly half-hour or hour?
