A Catholic Hymn that we should all know and meditate on... The 'Dies Irae.' Here's a great article explaining what it is, where it came from, and why it is important! See below for two beautiful version of the 'Dies Irae," the great sequence for the Mass of the Dead. It can serve as a prayer, an examen of conscience in preparation for our own death, and to stir the heart to pray for the dying and the Holy Souls in Purgatory!

Upcoming Events & Opportunities:

If we were all where we needed to be already, one Holy Mass would be sufficient to make us Saints and get us to Heaven. There is no lack in Jesus Christ in Holy Communion; in His one sacrifice for our salvation. We need Sunday Mass, but we need so much more. Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, Fellowship, Scripture Study, the Lives of the Saints, Ongoing Study of the Teachings of the Faith, Service to our Neighbor, and Deep Prayer. Do your best to plug into Mass, and as much else as you are able! We have lots of different things happening here at the parish. We hope to see you at some of it!
All you Holy Men and Women, Saints of God, pray for us!
Omnes Sancti et Sanctae Dei, orate pro nobis!
