Join Us For Daily Prayer
Pray with us every day (Monday to Sunday) at 3 PM, rain or shine in Mary's Garden, located behind the church on the south side. Indoors for colder weather.

The more we pray for someone, the more that blessing rests on them, for no prayer made in faith remains unanswered, even if the manner of its answering is hidden from us.
