Diocesan Household Prayer of
Dedication to the Holy Family
O Joseph, guardian and protector of the Holy Family,
pray for us that through the example of your holy
obedience all who dwell here may be guided in
their daily work and journey of faith.
O Mary, Our Mother, through you Christ made his
home with us on earth and sanctified the life of our
homes. Pray for us that we may grow in holiness by
your example of compassion and merciful love.
O Jesus, we set before you now our trials and joys. Look graciously upon this home,
that it be dedicated to your Holy Family in peace, faith, and the example of your
merciful love. Protect us both here and away, and
welcome those who have gone before us into
your heavenly home.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
the st. andrew christmas novena
The St. Andrew Christmas Novena
Begins on November 30th, the Feast of
St. Andrew, and continues through Christmas Eve
−To be prayed 15 times each day −
Hail and blessed be the hour and the moment
in which the Son of God was born
of the most pure Virgin Mary at midnight
in Bethlehem in piercing cold.
In that hour vouchsafe, O, my God,
to hear my prayer and grant my desires
through the merits of Our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ and
His Most Blessed Mother.
Amen

family prayer night
prepare your hearts during advent
Family Prayer Night on Monday evenings offers a rich environment for incorporating more prayer into your life!
Think about taking one small baby step in prayer this Advent Season to prepare your hearts for the birth of the Christ Child! Family Prayer Night schedules two hours of prayer each Monday evening. Come for any part of the prayer evening! Come and go as you please, and as your schedule permits!
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered from 6:30-6:50PM. Praying one decade of the Rosary might appeal to you, or stay for all the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary prayed before Mass. Mass begins at 7:00PM. If some quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament calls to your heart, come at 7:30PM for a few minutes, or stay to pray more of the Rosary or Chaplet of Divine Mercy with us.
We would love to have you join us! May God bless you and your families abundantly during this special Advent time!
*Check in the Parish Office for priest schedule regarding Mass and Reconciliation.
