Blessing of the Articles - Holy Family - after 10 a.m. Mass Father Slezak will bless any religious articles you would like blessed. 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.

The First Friday devotion is done to make reparation to and honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Confession will be from 10:30 am – 11:45 am. There will be no confession after Mass. Confession will resume at 3 pm. Recitation of the Holy Rosary will start at 11:35 am. One of the principal points of the Fatima message was Our Lady’s request for the First Saturday Devotion. The requirements are as follows: attend Confession, receive Holy Communion, pray five (5) decades of the Rosary, and keep Our Lady company for 15 minutes by meditating on one or more of the mysteries of the Rosary. Our Lady promises to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation for all who complete this devotion.

Faith and charity are two components of the SBYLS. At our December meeting, we recited the Holy Rosary, and shared our Advent traditions, and we were busy bees making homemade Christmas cards and ornaments to be delivered to nursing home residents. If you are a young lady from an area parish, between the ages of 8–16, and would like to join our society, please contact Michele at michele.hfp@gmail.com. Our next meeting is: on January 6th, 2024. First Saturday Mass at 12 p.m. Girls can fulfill their first Saturday devotion. The meeting will be held from 1:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. in the Parish Gym.
