Due to the delicate subject matter, the meetings are for adults only. We will begin Monday, September 9th in the Marian Chapel of the Main Church.

Sunday, April 28th is Divine Mercy Sunday. This is a very special day when the floodgates through which all the graces flow are opened. Jesus made a great promise, that the soul who goes to confession and receive Holy Communion, shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sin and punishment. This grace is like the one we receive in Baptism. Don’t miss this great opportunity to receive His mercy and graces, they are for everyone. There will be a Holy Hour in the Main Church at 2:30 p.m. with veneration of the Divine Mercy image. Confessions will be heard beginning at 2:00 p.m. in the Marian Center.

The Door to Door Evangelization ministry began in 2019 as a request by Father Sebastian to our seminarian, Mac Hill.

Dress casual and comfortably, and bring a bottle of water. Follow this link for more information or to participate.
