If you are unable to attend the service at our parish, here is a list of local services during the month of December. Reconciliation is also offered every Saturday at 4 pm in the Day Chapel.

Making New Year's Resolutions doesn't always have to be about dropping a few pounds. Your challenge this year may be to make a relationship with God and prayer more a part of your life. Consider making a resolution pertaining to faith, write it down, and share it with someone to help motivate you to keep with it. Some ideas may be:
Attend Mass more regularly
Get involved in a parish group or Bible Study 
Start or end each day with prayer using a devotional book
Start keeping a prayer or gratitude journal
Go to Reconciliation once a month
Do service in the community once a month
Read 2 books about faith this year
The possibilities are endless!
