Schedule

Subject to change

"Each week from Sunday mass, you and I, we are sent on a mission to bring God's love to the world, to transform the world – not with power or military, arms, or money or things money can buy, but with servant love. We are called to transform the world with the love of the One who died on the cross, who makes Himself present to us through the Sacrifice of the Mass. We are called to allow others to touch the wounds of the Crucified One through our being bears of the merciful love of Jesus – the very One we receive in this blessed sacrament."

- Archbishop Joseph Naumann
