Join Holy Family on May 27th to Pray the Rosary for Unborn Children and Peace. In the midst of current tensions, we invite area Catholics to join us in uniting the faithful in fasting and praying the Rosary on Friday, May 27, at Holy Family Parish at 6 p.m. Holy Family is located at 763 E. Main Street in Little Falls, NY.

Confession: 8 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. Mass: 9 a.m. Go to Mass and receive Holy Communion with the intention of honoring Christ’s Sacred Heart. If you are not in a state of grace, and thus unable to receive, you will also need to go to confession. Jesus said to St. Margaret Mary, “In the excess of the mercy of my heart, I promise you that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who will receive communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.” This means that if a person faithfully receives communion for nine consecutive months on First Fridays, Jesus will grant that person extra graces at the time of their death, making it possible to repent of their sins and receive the last rites (if needed).

Confession: 8 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. Usus Antiquior Mass: 9 a.m. The First Saturdays Devotion also called the Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a Catholic devotion which, according to Sister Lúcia of Fátima, was requested by the Virgin Mary in an apparition at Pontevedra, Spain, in December 1925. The First Five Saturdays devotion stimulates the spirit of reparation; it instills a tender love for the Holy Sacraments of Confession and the Blessed Eucharist. It nurtures a holy affection for the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Rosary. Above all, it is an excellent means to maintain one in the state of grace while immersed in the daily spiritual battles and prosaic existence in the neo-pagan world that we live in. Let us not delay in observing this devotion for it too gives us hope for eternal salvation.

Father Slezak will be blessing any religious articles you would like blessed on the first Sunday of each month. There will be a table set up in church to place your articles on and he will bless them between the Novus Ordo and Usus Antiquior Masses.
