LENT
Season of Fasting, Prayer, Almsgiving
LENT A TIME OF RENEWAL -- a time for prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. HOLY WEEK begins on Ash Wednesday and our parish has opportunities for increased prayer and participation as we prepare ourselves for Easter!
Daily Mass -- Monday thru Friday 8:00AM and 12:10PM, Saturday 8:00AM (SCS Church)
Consider praying with others at Mass, fasting from a daily routine, and giving your time to Jesus by participating in the celebration of the Eucharist--the Mass daily for the Season of Lent.
Parish Mission -- "O God, Come to My Assistance"
12:10PM Post Mass Reflections on Monday and Fridays:
Mondays POST 12:10PM Mass -- TALK by Father Anthony, Associate Pastor
Fridays POST 12:10PM Mass -- TALK by Father Arcoleo, Pastor
Sunday Vespers -- Sundays at 5:00 P.M.: Vespers with Monsignor Strynkowski
Vespers, most known as Evening Prayer, is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office. In the Liturgy of the Hours, the Church fulfills Jesus' command to "pray always" (Luke 18:1; see also 1 Thessalonians 5:17). Through this prayer, the people of God sanctify the day by continual praise of God and prayers of intercession for the needs of the world.
