Changes to First Wednesday Worship

On the first Wednesday of the month at 6:00pm, instead of Mass, we will be praying Vespers (Evening Prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours) followed by a novena devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

The Liturgy of the Hours is the Church’s official set of prayers "marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer (USCCB)." Bishops, priests, deacons, and many men and women in consecrated life pray the Liturgy of the Hours each day. Their work is organized around this prayer, keeping God always at the center of their days. Lay people are encouraged to pray the Liturgy of the Hours as well, especially Morning and Evening Prayer. Thus, in the absence of a priest or deacon, a lay member of the community may lead these prayers.

The Parish Office will be closed
