We Assemble for Prayer:      

Liturgy of the Hours During Advent and Lent and on Feast Days we pray the hours.  The Hours give us the opportunity to call upon different members of our community to preside, read and preach so as to share in the gifts that the Spirit is constantly calling forth from us.  We pray Vespers during these seasons on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 pm in the Church. 

Rosary  

We pray the rosary before the 9:00 am Eucharist each weekday.

Benediction

Third Sunday of the month at 2:30 pm in the Hispanic Chapel..

Nocturnal Adoration

First Friday of the month from 9:00 to 10:00 pm in the Church.

During the year we assemble in whole or in part as a community to seek the presence of God in both the ordinary and extraordinary events of our lives.  Sometimes we assemble in joy to mark God's presence in the passage of time such as all Hallows and Mardi Gras.  Other times we assemble in anxiety or sadness to face our need for God's reconciliation and peace or to join in the search for God in the midst of a tragedy.  Please check the Current Events page on our web site or the weekly bulletin for specific schedules.
