September 8 🙏
Today we joyfully celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, giving thanks to God for the gift of Mary and her role in our salvation.
May her faithful “yes” to God inspire us to trust Him more deeply and follow His will with open hearts.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us and lead us closer to your Son, Jesus. 📿

Today we celebrate the memorial of St. Monica, a woman of steadfast faith and persistent prayer.

Through years of patient prayer, St. Monica entrusted her family to God and never lost hope in His mercy. As the mother of St. Augustine, she witnessed the power of persevering prayer and the grace of God at work in her son’s life. Her example reminds us that God is always at work, even when we cannot yet see the fruits of our prayers.

May St. Monica inspire us to persevere in prayer and entrust those we love to God’s loving care.

St. Monica, pray for us.

☕️ Coffee Wednesday ☕️

Following our 8:00 a.m. Mass, we gathered for Coffee Wednesday—a beautiful start to the day filled with faith, friendship, and gratitude. We were especially blessed to welcome all the Sisters of St. John the Baptist, along with our wonderful regulars. 🌻

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of community and the beautiful friendships that grow in faith. 🙏

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, when Mary was taken body and soul into heavenly glory.

The Assumption reminds us of God’s faithfulness and the hope promised to all who follow Christ. In Mary, we see the destiny prepared for those who trust fully in God and live in obedience to His will.

May Our Lady’s Assumption strengthen our hope, deepen our faith, and draw us closer to her Son.

Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into heaven, pray for us.
