Saint Francis of Assisi

As Catholics we believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.  Our parish offers times for prayer in Eucharistic Adoration on Mondays from 8:45AM-5:00PM (not on holidays).  We are committed to keeping this time of prayer - to sit with Christ for hours at a time.  As He asked His disciples the night He died - could you not sit with Me for one hour?  Our own Father Paul Gregoire has explained on numerous occassions that even if everyone in the parish cannot take time in adoration, the few of us who do, are representing the whole parish.  Though we may not be able to see the effects of our prayers as God answers in His time - we believe that this is a valuable work.  Read more about Eucharistic devotion at this website.

November marks the celebration of All Saints Day.  We remember the holy men and women who have given their lives to Christ through the way they chose to live.  The church honors the sacrifices they made.  We seek to emulate the characteristics they lived, and we ask the saints to intercede for us.  To pray the Litany of Saints go to this site.
