- Eucharistic Adoration
- Eucharistic Adoration is offered every Saturday from 9 to 10 am and on
Tuesdays following 8:00am Mass until 7:00pm. Everyone is welcome to come and
pray or you may commit to a specific hour of prayer on Tuesday.
- Ministry of Prayer and Praise
- Members are asked to pray and offer sacrifices for the parish and the
church as a whole. The only commitment is to pray daily. Periodically,
thoughts on prayer
and prayer intentions are mailed out. We form a great body of holy people bringing
prayers before our Lord. Please join us! Time commitment of a few minutes each
day is requested, with no meetings to attend.
- Vocation/Home Chalice Program
- To encourage vocations, a parish family takes home the traveling chalice
for two weeks, during which we ask the family to honor the sacred vessel as a
reminder of Mass and the priest celebrant and to pray for vocations. The
chalice is then returned and will be transferred during Mass to another
family. A prayer pamphlet accompanies the chalice. The time commitment is
based on the number of volunteers.
- Prayer Chain
- Individuals pray daily in private for the sick and for special needs of
the parish. Volunteers are needed to pray daily, also to participate in a
telephone chain in cases of immediate emergencies. There are no scheduled
meetings.
- Men's Ministry
- Men (18 and above) use Christian Catholic Doctrine discussion and group
prayer to strive to become better Christians, husbands, fathers, grandfathers
and mentors to others. A great opportunity to fellowship with other men of our
parish for one hour each month. Meetings are held on the second Sunday of the
month from 7:00am to 8:00am in the Youth Room.
- Ministry to the Sick & Aged
- Through this ministry we are able to care for those who are shut-in, in
the hospital, or who are in nursing homes. Personal visits, phone calls and
possibly taking them the Eucharist are ways we accomplish this ministry.
Volunteers are always welcome.
Small Christian Communities
You are invited to join one of several small study groups of 6 - 14 people who meet regularly
to discuss selected Catholic
resources and to encourage one another to grow in faith. The parish has about
10 groups which meet on various days of the week and may focus on a recommended
section of the Bible in union with groups around the Diocese or may choose to
focus on different interests related to the Catholic faith.
