Info Meeting will be held on May 22 after the 12:15 p.m. Mass in the Parish Center. Email for more information here. Monthly Way of the CrossFor the intention of loved ones who have left the church. 3:00 p.m. every fourth Sunday -- May 22. New! Prayer Apostolate of Reparation Through Devotion to the Holy Face of JesusEvery Tuesday morning at 6:00 a.m, folks will be gathering in the church for this devotion. Please consider attending if you can. Why is this important? In 1843, Jesus revealed to Sister Mary of St. Peter, a Carmelite nun in Tours, France, that reparation for the sins of atheism, blasphemy, and the profanation of Sundays and Holy Days was imperative. An Archconfraternity was established in 1885 to facilitate this work of reparation looking to St. Veronica as their model. All STA parishioners are encouraged to seriously consider participating as much as possible in the work of reparation through this devotion, imitating the actions of the holy woman Veronica. In her desire to alleviate, in whatever way she could, the sufferings inflicted on Jesus by His executioners during His Passion, Veronica wiped the filth from His Holy Face. By praying the prayers of reparation, and striving to promote the faithful observance of the first three commandments of the Lord, we seek to alleviate the sufferings our Lord endures from atheists, blasphemers, and those who profane His Holy Days. “Let us, therefore, wipe the august Face of the Savior, soiled with the spittle of blasphemers, and He will wipe our soul, soiled with the spittle of sin.” - Sr. Mary of St. Peter (Manual of the Holy Face p. 363) Back to Summer Food DriveBags will be distributed by the Troops of St. George the weekend of May 22 and can be dropped off June 5. This drive supports families who need food assistance when the school year is out. Great Audio Sermons!
