Each year Nativity of Our Lady celebrates our feast day -- the Nativity of Our Lady -- near the feast day. (Or in this year’s case, actually ON the feast day!) On that weekend, we have only one Mass. Come Sunday at 11:00 AM and join us under the big tent for wonderful liturgy, music and prayer. Chairs are provided for you.
Following the Mass will be a BBQ meal (tickets must be purchased in advance & will be available in August 2024) and other fun activities!
We hope to see you there!
Come celebrate the Holy Week Triduum with us... one big liturgy celebrated over three days~
Holy Thursday, March 28th at 7 PM: Mass of the Lord's Supper. We gather to celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the "Last Supper" and as Jesus did for his disciples, we wash one another's feet in an act of humility. (wear white)
Good Friday, March 29th at Noon: Celebration of the Lord's Passion. We gather to hear the story of our Lord's passion and death as recounted in the Gospel of John. We kneel before the cross and lay our burdens at the foot of Jesus. We remember that "he was wounded for our transgressions..." (Isaiah 53:5). Although this is the one day of the year when no Mass is celebrated, Communion will be served. (wear red)
Holy Saturday, March 30th at 8 PM: The Great Easter Vigil. We gather at night around a fire. We hear the stories from Hebrew Scriptures of how our ancestors met the One, True God and how they, and we have been called and delivered to be God's own people. We light up the darkness with a new pascal candle. We celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We witness the baptism of a new member of our community. It is the most wonderful of liturgies with light, music, water and oil. It is the Mother of all Vigils! (wear white)

On Nov 2, the Feast of All Souls, we remember those who have gone before us to be with the Lord in heaven. This feast dates back to 988 in our church history. During the mass, we will be offered the opportunity to bring forward a photo, image or symbol of someone we love who has passed into the next life. This is a way we can communally honor our deceased friends and family. It’s also a time to finally put to rest conflicts that have gone unresolved. Let the Holy Spirit release you and bring you comfort and healing.
This will be the only Mass on November 2, 2022.
