Do you have a brother or sister who has fallen away from the Catholic faith? How about a cousin or even a son or daughter? Seeing our loved ones stray away from Christ is such a helpless feeling.

Join us tonight at 7:00 (and every Tuesday) in the church for our Lost Sheep Holy Hour, in which we place our loved ones in Jesus' hands. A rosary, divine mercy chaplet and other prayers are prayed, in hopes that our loved ones will soon see the love and mercy Jesus Christ has for them.

Check this out — we recently uploaded a video to our YouTube channel of the fire that burned Westphalia's church in 1959. The church was the predecessor to the one that is there now, and was built in 1867.

Marian Devotions-Fourth Saturday of May-Repentance and Humility

05/18/2026

ALL are welcome to swing by the hall tonight at 7:00 for a presentation from the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, as they will be discussing what life as a religious sister looks like. They will also be holding a Q&A session, presenting the perfect chance for anyone to ask questions regarding the discernment of God's will, what path He's calling them toward in life, etc.

We encourage you to please spread the word on this. Again, this presentation is open to everyone, not just those discerning religious life.

Marian Devotions-Third Saturday of May-Conversion of Sinners

05/12/2026

God has blessed our community with A LOT of upcoming events and initiatives, all of which we'd love to keep you up updated on...

• The Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma will be giving a short presentation and hosting a Q&A on Monday, May 18, at 7:00 PM in the Westphalia hall. ALL are welcome. This is a beautiful opportunity to see what a vocation in religious life can look like, while also learning about ways in which we can discern God’s will for our lives.

• Registration for this summer’s Steubenville trip (July 17-19) is still open, and will remain open until May 17. All students currently in 8th-12th grade are encouraged to attend. “Worthy” is the theme of this year’s retreat, and is one that we think will be especially impactful for young people everywhere.

• Tomorrow (May 13) is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. We are looking to honor her in a special way by implementing all-day prayer in front of her statue. If you would like to partake in this, you are encouraged to sign up for a short time slot here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409044FA4AA2DA1FF2-63450131-ourlady?fbclid=IwY2xjawRwN-RleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE4anhydjllQ3pGcE5PeXhtc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgkFOmhBReaK6limhqLZx14wHSCi6asHpd-lxfil5GbVR9EudolrOTB2Hr5F_aem_BlXR474qRcOoRCaF_81CZQ #/
