✨ Join us for these beautiful monthly devotions! ✨
Come honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus at First Friday Mass at St. John’s at 5:30 PM. Then join us on First Saturday at St. Margaret’s in devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This month, there will be no adoration and Mass will be at a different time—Rosary begins at 7:00 AM and Mass follows at 7:30 AM.
All are welcome—come spend this special time in prayer, reflection, and love for Our Lord and Our Lady. 🙏
