Please join us in praying the Rosary. MONDAY through SATURDAY after the 8:15 a.m. Mass in the Church.
The Rosary is a very special prayer, one that has many benefits for those who pray it devoutly and faithfully every day. So important is it, that at the first apparition of Fatima in 1917, Our Lady chose to identify herself as, "The Lady of the Rosary." It is a prayer loved by many of the saints. The Rosary is a prayer that fits perfectly into the spiritual life of all who seek to allow the Blessed Mother to be their light to Christ, to show them the path to Jesus.
In his Apostolic Letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, Pope Saint John Paul II states in his introduction: "The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christocentric prayer. In the sobriety of its elements, it has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety, of which it can be said to be a compendium..." (RVM, 1)

June is the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Eucharistic adoration, where the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ is exposed in the Blessed Sacrament, is a powerful way to draw closer to His Sacred Heart and to experience His Real Presence. Jesus, having a human heart, experienced all of the emotions that we experience in this life.....love, joy, happiness, pain, sorrow, loneliness, fear, stress. Jesus knows everything about us and everything we are going through and He wants to show us that He understands. He wants to give you His endless love. He wants to show us that His love has no bounds. Come and experience this love that pours out of His most Sacred Heart onto you and me. He is waiting to share it with you!

Lord Jesus, let my heart never rest until it finds You, who are its center, its love, and its happiness. By the wound in your heart, pardon the sins that I have committed whether out of malice or out of evil desires. Place my weak heart in your own divine heart, continually under your protection and guidance, so that I may persevere in doing good and in fleeing evil until my last breath. Amen
~St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
