Rosary & Weekday Mass
Once a month, we recite the rosary (at 8:45 am) before celebrating weekday Mass (at 9:00 am). Please join us on Wednesday, February 11. [posted 2/8-11/2026]
Faith and Fiction Book Club
At our February 11 meeting we will discuss Reading Behind Bars - a True Story of Literature, Law and Life as a Prison Librarian by Jill Gruenwald. Come and explore something different; if you don't like reading, listen to the audiobook version. We’re composed of men and women, parishioners and non-parishioners, Catholics and non-Catholics. Everyone is welcome. We gather at 10:00 am for coffee and catch-up and begin our book discussion promptly at 10:30 so that we can be finished by noon. [posted 2/8-11/2026]
Service Project Opportunities
After Mass this month, we will welcome representatives from three ministries that help the most vulnerable. Each will briefly share their mission and current needs. Parishioners are encouraged to remain and take a few minutes to learn how our community can support these important ministries:
February 7 & 8 - Peter Maurin Center (Dave Churbock, Executive Director)
February 14 & 15 - Ozanam Center (Cathie Perusek, Board Member)
February 28 & March 1 - Genneserate (Bob Dirgo, Executive Director) [posted 2/1-3/1/2026]
