"The Lord Be With You" — we hear this so often in the Mass. This simple statement
reflects the awesome reality that the Lord Jesus is present in our midst — most especially in the
Blessed Sacrament. Aware of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, we will be having a Holy Hour every Friday evening from 7:00 until 8:00 PM. The
Holy Hour will consist of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Vespers (Evening Prayer) and Benediction.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will also be available.

St. John Vianney's Prayer for Priests
God, please give to Your Church today many
more priests after Your own heart. May they be
worthy representatives of Christ the Good
Shepherd. May they wholeheartedly devote
themselves to prayer and penance; be examples
of humility and poverty; shining models of
holiness; tireless and powerful preachers of the
Word of God; zealous dispensers of Your grace
in the sacraments. May their loving devotion to
your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his
Mother be the twin fountains for fruitfulness for
their ministry. Amen.
Holy Hour for Vocations — First Saturday of
the Month — 8:00 AM
Mass followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the Rosary,
and Benediction.
