SUMMARY:Holy Face Devotion and Prayers of Reparation
DESCRIPTION:On March 7\, 1847\, our Lord said to His faithful servant Sister Marie Saint-Pierre\, “Rejoice\, my daughter; the hour approaches when that most beautiful work under the sun is to appear.” With these words\, our Lord began to establish the Devotion to His Holy Face and the Work of Reparation. \nSister Saint-Pierre later said\, “Our Lord showed me the excellence of the Work of Reparation; how it surpasses all other devotions\, is agreeable to God\, to the angels\, the saints\, and is useful to the Church.” \nCome and join us every second Tuesday of the month and offer reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus by praying the Holy Rosary\, Chaplet of the Holy Face\, Litany of the Holy Face\, Honourable Amends to the Holy Face\, and the Golden Arrow prayer. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Neocatechumenal Catechesis
DESCRIPTION:A Community Awaits You! Do you feel called to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ? Adults and post-confirmation youth are warmly welcome! \n“Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” — Luke 9:14 \nIn Luke 9:10–17\, Jesus withdraws privately with his disciples. When crowds follow Him\, the disciples suggest sending them away as evening approaches\, but Jesus refuses. Instead\, He has them sit in small groups and feeds them. \nBeing fed by Jesus in a small group setting is the core dynamic of the Neocatechumenal Way. \nWe invite everyone—parishioners and non-parishioners alike—to attend a series of catechesis (talks) that offer an opportunity to reflect on our lives and discover what it means to be nourished by Christ. Participants receive spiritual nourishment by listening to the Word of God\, celebrating the sacraments together\, and growing in mutual love through the Holy Spirit. \nThrough these gatherings\, participants grow in intimacy with the Lord\, find deep reconciliation with their personal histories\, and receive the grace to love others as Christ loves us. This dynamic also provides invaluable support to families in passing on the faith to their children and helps post-confirmation youth remain actively connected to the Church. \nBecause we have received freely\, we share this freely: there is no cost to attend. Whether you stay for a few sessions or complete the entire path\, we are grateful for every moment shared and trust fully in God’s timing.

SUMMARY:Neocatechumenal Catechesis
DESCRIPTION:A Community Awaits You! Do you feel called to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ? Adults and post-confirmation youth are warmly welcome! \n“Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” — Luke 9:14 \nIn Luke 9:10–17\, Jesus withdraws privately with his disciples. When crowds follow Him\, the disciples suggest sending them away as evening approaches\, but Jesus refuses. Instead\, He has them sit in small groups and feeds them. \nBeing fed by Jesus in a small group setting is the core dynamic of the Neocatechumenal Way. \nWe invite everyone—parishioners and non-parishioners alike—to attend a series of catechesis (talks) that offer an opportunity to reflect on our lives and discover what it means to be nourished by Christ. Participants receive spiritual nourishment by listening to the Word of God\, celebrating the sacraments together\, and growing in mutual love through the Holy Spirit. \nThrough these gatherings\, participants grow in intimacy with the Lord\, find deep reconciliation with their personal histories\, and receive the grace to love others as Christ loves us. This dynamic also provides invaluable support to families in passing on the faith to their children and helps post-confirmation youth remain actively connected to the Church. \nBecause we have received freely\, we share this freely: there is no cost to attend. Whether you stay for a few sessions or complete the entire path\, we are grateful for every moment shared and trust fully in God’s timing.

SUMMARY:Holy Face Devotion and Prayers of Reparation
DESCRIPTION:On March 7\, 1847\, our Lord said to His faithful servant Sister Marie Saint-Pierre\, “Rejoice\, my daughter; the hour approaches when that most beautiful work under the sun is to appear.” With these words\, our Lord began to establish the Devotion to His Holy Face and the Work of Reparation. \nSister Saint-Pierre later said\, “Our Lord showed me the excellence of the Work of Reparation; how it surpasses all other devotions\, is agreeable to God\, to the angels\, the saints\, and is useful to the Church.” \nCome and join us every second Tuesday of the month and offer reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus by praying the Holy Rosary\, Chaplet of the Holy Face\, Litany of the Holy Face\, Honourable Amends to the Holy Face\, and the Golden Arrow prayer. All are welcome!
