PrayER and Sacraments

Prayer is a central part of our parish life.   We begin each gathering  with prayer and no decision is made without taking it first to prayer.   Prayer is essential to living a full, Catholic life.  The Mass, as the central part of our communal prayer, is celebrated with reverence,  inspiring music and beautiful environments.  We create  a customized worship aide each week so that all can fully participate in worship and song,  


Our Eucharistic Chapel and Daily Chapel offer a quiet place for personal prayer and are available during Parish Office Hours (M-F 9:30am-4:30pm). 


There are many forms of prayer in our Catholic tradition but there is no better way to pray than being before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament honoring His Presence in the Eucharist which was given to us at the Lord's table.  


Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is offered each Wednesday in our DAILY CHAPEL beginning after Daily Mass (Daily Mass starts at 9am) and ending with Benediction at 7:00 pm.

THE OUR FATHER: 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.


THE HAIL MARY:

Hail, Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Sacraments

The sacramental life of Holy Eucharist provides us with celebrations that use the most average of symbols and signs with the ritual of prayer. We are washed in the waters of baptism, nourished by Word, bread and wine, strengthened and anointed with oil and help within prayer. The preparation and celebration of sacraments give meaning to our lives and are moments of grace..
