Bishop Robert Barron's: The Sacraments
Are sacraments the most important things in the world?
You might think that’s a silly question. But the Church thinks otherwise.
The sacraments are the physical experiences that allow us to receive grace from the Holy Spirit and ultimately be conformed to Christ himself.
That’s pretty important, right?
This short video will introduce you to these very important things:
Coming Up:
Temporary Schedule for Masses
Masses will be phased in over time. For now, we will have the 9AM weekday Mass only--EXCEPT ON MONDAYS. The weekend Masses will be at 4:30PM Saturday, 8:00AM, 10:30AM on Sunday.
No Wednesday evening confessions this week
Confessions - Wednesdays 5-5:30 PM and Saturdays 9:30-10 AM. There will not be confession prior to the weekday Masses because of the need to sanitize the church. Enter the church through the east door only. Markings on the west inside wall of the church (near the regularly used confessional) will indicate six-foot spacing from others. The door to the server sacristy will be left open. (Please don't close it.) Enter through that room into the main sacristy. Depart the same way. To maintain sanitization, please do not enter the pews. Depart through the east door.
