This practice originated in Medjurgorje where the Blessed Mother is purported to be new appearing daily to three young people.  Our Maria Sanctisima Prayer Group started in 1990, but prior to that time some of the members had been active as a Renew group in the 1980's.  The meetings are now being held every two weeks in church after the 8:15 am Mass.  the group is limited to 14 members, all being original members.  Each member takes a turn selecting and leading various prayers and the rosary.  They put their faith into action by volunteering.  Several members of this group take Communion and offer a Prayer Service three Tuesdays a month at the Wedgewood Nursing Home.

For more information, please contact Ronnie Walterich at 832-7104 or Mickey Delaney at 832-9230.  Prayers and actions do make a difference.

  • I like to be part of the challenge that we all have from the gospels: to convert. As John the Baptist says, “To make straight the path.” There’s always an opportunity to straighten out the crooked path.Moved by Faith

     

GARDEN PROJECT
MOVES FORWARD

Our Generations of the Faith and First Communicant families have agreed to lead the project to "reinstate the garden" behind the Catholic Charities building.

We invite all of you to be a part of it! Please come on Saturday, May 19th starting at 9:30 am (pray for sunshine!) and we will work together to restore the gardens!

We plan a cookout at noon and we invite you to please join us and bring a dish to pass. Please RSVP to the Rectory by phone or email with your attendance and the number in your family who will be attending. 

 This is such an inspiring project and we hope as many of you can come as possible. Thank you!
