This evening of the Mission will begin with a Liturgy of the Word, followed by a period of Eucharistic Adoration. It will conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Tuesday, March 23 – Penance Service

An essential part of living Lent well is experiencing God’s mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This evening of the Mission will begin with a Liturgy of the Word; several guest priests will be present to hear individual confessions.

Wednesday, March 24 – Mass for the Solemnity of the Anniversary of the Consecration of the Church

This day will mark two years since the Consecration of St. Catherine of Siena Church. There is an especially beautiful Mass which is celebrated in the consecrated church on the anniversary of its consecration.
