During Lent, we strive to offer prayers and sacrifices by joining them to the sacrifice of Christ’s cross. You are invited to pick up a cross from the basket on the altar and share your struggles, prayers, intentions, sacrifices, and petitions with God, by writing them on the cross and placing it back in the basket where it will remain during Lent. As we show gratitude for the sacrifice Jesus made and look forward to the joy of His Resurrection, we know that He walks with us as we walk with Him during this time.

The Clarion Herald article on our amazing SPX Centenarians is now out online and was printd in the February 3rd printed issue. We are so excited for you to read it!
The SPX Centenarians are a group of our faithful parishioners who are 100 years old and older, and we are so excited that their stories are being shared not only with our parish, but also with the whole Archdiocese.
We are especially thankful to Beth Donze for her beautiful reporting and to parishioner Lisa Taylor for coming up with this idea!
