WANTED: Everyone young and old who likes to sing and will gather monthly to Praise & Worship the Lord!
What is Praise & Worship? It is an opportunity outside of Mass, to give thanks, and to show our deep love and respect to the Lord, using contemporary Christian music and prayer, allowing us to encourage and support one another, increase our faith, and to grow closer to God! It's informal, free and fun!
"Make a joyful noise onto the Lord...come before His presence with singing!" Ps100:1-2

Pope Francis' prayer to Our Blessed Mother
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need. We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us:He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Let the Church always be a place of Mercy and Hope,
where everyone is Welcomed, Loved and Forgiven.
- Pope Francis
