THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK

The Anointing of the Sick is a beautiful Christian sacrament that brings spiritual and physical strength, comfort, and healing to those who are seriously ill, elderly, or facing a serious health condition.

First Friday: September 4 Following the 12:10 PM Mass

We invite those who are in need of this sacrament to join us for this special celebration and receive the grace and strength of God.

“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.”
James 5:14

Come and receive the Lord’s healing, comfort, and peace.

Join Us in Prayer!

We invite all our parishioners to join us in praying a Novena for Families lifting up every family in our parish and asking God to strengthen, bless, and guide them.

We will also be praying in a special way for our new Enriching Marriages Ministry, asking the Lord to bless marriages, strengthen couples, and help families grow together in faith and love.

Let us come together as a parish family and entrust our families and marriages to the loving care of God.

Pray with us. Pray for our families. Pray for our marriages.

Beautification Update!

Our parish beautification journey continues, and we are making great progress!

The lighting in the church has been updated, brightening up our parish and creating a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere.

St. Joseph’s Chapel, the Bride’s Room, and the Usher Room have all been painted, and the ceiling is now halfway painted! We are continuing to move forward and are excited to see everything come together.

Next on the list: cleaning and repairing the mosaics, followed by cleaning and repairing the floor.

We are so grateful for everyone who has helped make this beautification project possible. Your generosity and support are making a difference in our parish! ❤️

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey! 🙌🏼
