Join Us for 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory
This New Year take a 33-day journey with your parish family. We will reflect on brief daily readings from 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory by Matthew Kelly. Our journey culminates in a Consecration to the Eucharist on the 33rd day.
Consecration means to make holy and involves a personal commitment to God-dedicating oneself to His service and worship. While you can read and consecrate yourself individually, we invite you to join our parish consecration for a richer experience through shared discussions. Here's the plan:

The Day of Prayer for Life, coinciding with the March for Life in Washington, D.C. (usually around January 22), brings our entire Parish Family together to pray for the sanctity of life, the pre-born, their mothers, and to support pregnant women in need.
The day begins with 8:15 am Mass, followed by exposition and all-day Adoration. We will pray the Rosary for Life, including meditations on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries, the 7 Sorrows of Mary, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. There will also be time for private prayer after each. The day concludes with Benediction and Repose of the Blessed Sacrament at 4:00 pm. Adults will lead the prayers, with school children joining throughout the day.
