Our parish has confessions weekly, before the 6pm Mass on Saturday evening. Or call the parish office to schedule confession.
The Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is held every first Friday of each month at 630pm. Spend an hour with the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharistic Adoration.
