thursday massThursday 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 wonderful 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 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, January 27, Mass will be offered for St. Dominic. 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!

RCIARCIA is offered every Tuesday evening, from September through May (with breaks for Christmas and Easter), at 6:30-7:30pm in the parish hall. (Consult the parish calendar for date changes during the month of January/February 2022.)
RCIA is the program the Church uses for those who would like to become Catholic, as well as for adult Catholics who want to receive Confirmation.
All parishioners may attend the classes. Each week, we are going through the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a Q&A abridgement of the Catechism.
This is a great chance to learn more about our faith -- or to refresh our memory about what we learned long ago! -
