St. Faustina Kowalska, who was beatified on April 18, 1993, and canonized on April 30, 2000, was an uneducated Polish nun from the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland. Her writings are the source of the message and devotion of Divine Mercy. Following the Friday 12:00 Noon Mass each week, participants gather for devotion.
Jesus asked, “Could you not spend one hour with me?” The Eucharistic Adoration Ministry offers each member of the parish an opportunity for an hour of prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament, the Living God. The blessings you receive are unbelievable. In this ministry, we have opportunities for weekly guardians and for substitutes who are called occasionally as needed. Our parish is so blessed to have Perpetual Adoration, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are unable to actively participate in this ministry, please know we welcome visitors to the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel at any time. “Come when you can and leave when you must.”
FIDELES, or "the Faithful Ones", is a movement of adult men with a special devotion to Jesus and His Blessed Mother, Mary. FIDELES devotions grew from the special prayer relationship with Mary as set forth in the Conversation & Journal, a beautifully written guide to a deep, meaningful and personal relationship with Mary, Queen of Heaven. FIDELES members fast and meet weekly for one hour in the presence of the Exposed Blessed Sacrament to pray the Rosary and engage in scriptural meditation. These regular weekly meetings help lead men to a deepening of faith, a desire to be a better person and example to others and the joy of faith-sharing. Guests (both men and women) are welcome to join in the prayer time. FIDELES men meet weekly, every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel.
