High School Theology of the Body, Grades 9-12
4-Weeks (Tuesdays) October 4, 11, 18, 25, 6pm - 8pm
Our teens are struggling to find their place and purpose in the world. If we want to combat the loneliness and alienation, anxiety, and confusion they are facing, we need the life-giving truths found in the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II’s masterwork, The Theology of the Body. Help your teen become who God made them to be—instead of who the world says they should be. -

Masses: Daily: Monday-Thursday 8:30 am. Saturday: 5 pm. Sunday: 7:30 am, 9 am, and 11 am.- Masks are no longer required when inside the church. You may wear a mask at your discretion.
- Bottles of hand sanitizer will be available at entrances to the church and near Communion stations. You may use hand sanitizer at your discretion.
- All pews are now available for seating.

- To accommodate parishioners who are gluten-intolerant, we have developed a protocol for receiving the Precious Blood on an 'as needed' basis. Each communicant will receive the Precious Blood in an individual cup. Reception will take place at the credence table at the top of the ramp during the distribution of Holy Communion and will be offered by a Eucharistic Minister in the normal manner. If you need to receive the Precious Blood, please see the Mass Leader at least 10 minutes before Mass so that we have time to prepare the credence table and cup. The Precious Blood will only be available when requested and only to parishioners who require gluten-free Eucharist. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Sacrament of Reconciliation – Saturday from 4 pm to 4:30 pm. Confessions will be heard in the Confessional Room."... the dispensation has run its course, we embrace again what we call the first of the six “Precepts of the Church”, namely: “You shall attend Mass on Sundays and Holydays of Obligation.” Since “the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath,” God gives us His Day as an inheritance to remember blessings, ask for graces, ease the burdens of the week’s busyness and to remember that by Jesus’ Resurrection from the dead on a Sunday’s early hours He has given us His day to remember the promise of our own resurrection.
While it is true that illness, infirmity or truly serious reasons may impede and therefore always dispense us of our obligation to come to Church for Mass, any casual absence from Mass without serious reason carries the burden of a willful sin against God and neighbor and must be brought to Confession as soon as possible." ~ Bishop Libasci
