thursday evening massMass every Thursday evening at 6.30 p.m.
Adoration and Benediction from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Thursday is the day we remember the institution of both the priesthood and the Eucharist, the two sacraments which Christ began on that Thursday of the Last Supper. What a great way to deepen our experience of the divine mystical presence, by thanking God for the gift of the Mass on the day he gave it to us!
We will be offering our Thursday evening Mass each week for a different one of our 139 Archdiocesan parishes, for their priests and for vocations to the priesthood from that parish.
Thursday, September 23rd, Mass will be offered for Epiphany. Through the intercession of St. John Vianney, let us pray for the priests there, and that God would raise up vocations to the priesthood from that parish!
God bless you, Fr Matt
