Encounter
2026-01-09 09:00 - 20:00, 2026-02-06 09:00 - 20:00
In our busy lives, it’s easy to lose sight of the One who gives us true peace and purpose. That’s why we set aside time for Encounter, a day dedicated to prayer, adoration, and personal connection with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
Eucharistic Adoration is a powerful way to spend quiet time with the Lord, to rest in His presence, and to allow Him to speak to our hearts. Whether you can come for a few minutes or stay for an hour, your time before the Blessed Sacrament is an offering of love and trust.
This Friday, we invite you to make space in your day to be with Jesus. Come whenever your schedule allows:
9am: Our day of prayer begins with Mass in English.
9:30am-7pm: After Mass, Father will expose the Blessed Sacrament on the main altar of the Church for silent prayer. Adoration will continue in the Church until 7pm. Everyone is welcome—parishioners, friends, visitors, ministries, and small groups are all encouraged to come, spend time with Jesus, and adore Him in the Blessed Sacrament.
7pm: We will begin a special period of praise & worship, prayer & reflection, culminating with Benediction.

Candle Mass
Join us on Monday, February 2, as we celebrate the Candle Mass in honor of the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Mass will be celebrated at 9am.
During Mass, candles will be blessed as a sign of Christ, the Light of the World, who guides us in faith and hope. This beautiful tradition invites us to reflect on Simeon’s proclamation and renew our call to carry Christ’s light into our daily lives.
All are welcome to attend and participate.

Blessing of Throats
2026-02-03 09:00 - 09:30, 2026-02-03 19:00 - 19:30
All are invited to the traditional Blessing of Throats on Tuesday, February 3, at the 9am or 7pm Mass, in honor of St. Blaise, a 4th-century bishop and martyr known for his miraculous healing of a boy who was choking on a fishbone.
This special blessing is a centuries-old Catholic tradition, asking for health and protection from illnesses of the throat and body throughout the year.
All are welcome to participate.
