Communal First Saturday
The Communal First Saturday provides a way of fulfilling Our Lady of Fatima’s request for the First Saturday and thereby helping bring about world peace and the salvation of souls.
The Communal First Saturdays help to schedule in the parish and lead all four practices requested by Our Lady for the purpose of making reparation to her Immaculate Heart. The First Saturdays in the communal form is a way of making it easier for each person to fulfill all of the practices of the First Saturdays and for a larger number of people to do so. Further, there is a greater power to our prayer and reparation when we join in prayer together publicly. The communal form also makes it more possible to give visible witness that Our Lord and Our Lady’s request for the First Saturdays is being fulfilled.
First Saturday of Each Month:
- 8:00 AM – Confessions
- 9:20 AM – Intentions, Prayers, & Rosary
- 10:00 AM – Holy Mass with Communion of Reparation
- 10:45 AM – Scripture Meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary in Our Lady’s company in a communal form of Lectio Divina.
- 11:00 AM – Pilgrim Virgin Statue Procession & Brown Scapular Reception.

Divine Mercy Cenacle
We study the Diary of St. Faustina using a formation manual with weekly lessons along with appropriate references from the Bible and Catechism of the Catholic Church.
We emphasize and promote the concept that the Divine Mercy message is more than a devotion: It is a Way of Life. We learn the role of trust, forgiveness, and mercy in our daily lives. We deepen our Catholic faith and live out this faith by performing the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
English Cenacle Mondays 10-11:30 am Room 205 in the PLB starting September 11th.
First Friday Devotion
First Friday Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus happens on the First Friday of the month from 8:30 AM with Rosary followed by Mass then final Devotion Prayers. Ends at approximately 10:20am. This devotion comes from when Our Lord appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque, and gave her the special task to spread devotion to His Most Sacred Heart at a time when religion was growing cold in the hearts of mankind. All are welcome to participate so share this information with family and friends. 2023 Marks the 350th anniversary of The Sacred Heart of Jesus appearing to Sr. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
