Spiritual life ministries are focused on living and teaching the faith in less formal environments than official Religious Education for Children or RCIA classes. They bring the faith to life through fellowship and community, sharing what they've learned through their own experiences, so we can all advance in holiness in the one, holy, catholic church.
In addition to the ministries included under Spiritual Life, see the Faith Formation tab for more ways to grow in faith, including information on the Special Opportunities for Faith Formation, where the Parish Mission page can be found. Also, one sure way to grow closer to the Lord is Eucharistic Adoration. Adoration visits are available in Our Lady of Sorrows Church:
Monday – Friday from 7:30 am to 8:00 pm
Saturday – 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Note: On Thursdays, there is Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance on the altar after the 7:00 am Mass until reposition at 8 pm.
Our parish takes great pride in the recognition being accorded this Saturday, October 24 to Mrs. Mariyam Francis, our Director of Religious Education. Mrs. Francis will receive the Mt. Carmel Guild’s “Guild Neighbor Award” for her work to support its annual Thanksgiving Drive. We are proud of you, Mariyam!
The parish Respect Life team invites you to join us in prayer for life, every Thursday in October, at noon, in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Each week we will pray a different set of prayers, for life and for healing. Click here for more information.
October is Respect Life Month, and we are asking all parishioners who know how to crochet, knit, quilt, etc. to make a baby blanket during October for the local crisis pregnancy center. Give these mothers the gift of knowing someone cares enough to create a soft, bright, welcoming blanket for their baby. Click here for more information.
The first sign of hope should be the desire for peace in our world, which once more finds itself immersed in the tragedy of war…Is it too much to dream that arms can fall silent and cease to rain down destruction and death? May diplomacy be tireless in its commitment to seek…lasting peace.
