Spiritual Life & Enrichment

“Continue to live in Christ Jesus
be rooted in him and build up in
Him, growing ever stronger in
faith and overflowing with gratitude"
(Colossians 2:6)


Besides our daily and Sunday Eucharistic celebrations we offer many other opportunities to grow and deepen our spiritual life.  From September till June we've set aside Mondays as a Day of Prayer and Adoration.  Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament takes place after the 8:00 am Mass on these Mondays.

Private visits are welcome throughout the day in Church.  It is a time to respond to the Lords call "to come aside and rest awhile" in His Eucharistic presence.

The day concludes at 7:00 pm with Evening Prayer and Benediction.

During the Penetential season of Advent and Lent we offer many more spiritual formation and prayer programs. We offer lectures on current topics, events, moral issues, viewing them from the context of our Catholic faith and Church doctrines.  From time to time we also offer Parish Retreats here at the Church.

For many people it is difficult to get away to a "retreat center" or "house of prayer." Instead we bring the Retreat setting here to our parish, giving our people the opportunity to be spiritually nourished, comforted and strengthened by the sacred mystery of Gods eternal love.
