PRAYERS FOR FALLEN AWAY CATHOLICS
Fridays at 9:00 am
Are there special people in your life who have fallen away from practing the faith? Does the state of the Church or the country weigh heavily on your heart? Join us at 9:00 am in the church each Friday as we pray the Rosary with a special intention for the return of all Catholics to God's Holy Church.

Cleaning dates and times are flexible (Thursday afternoons to Saturday mornings) and can accommodate your schedule. A great opportunity for families or friend groups. All supplies are provided.
