Whether it has been a month or many years since your last confession, please know that you are welcome here.
We invite you to join us for our Lenten Penance Service, held at Ss Peter & Paul, on Wednesday, March 18. Lent is a season of renewal, and this service is a beautiful opportunity to experience God’s healing grace and peace.
News & Announcements
Upcoming Stevens Mission Trip On the weekend of February 21st and 22nd, representatives from the Stevens Newman Catholic group will speak at the end of Mass to share more about their upcoming Spring Break Mission Trip to Louisa, Kentucky. The group will resume work with the Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Center to complete urgent home repairs for those in need. Please prayerfully consider supporting our mission however you are able, whether through prayer or a monetary donation.
2026 Annual Appeal In two weeks, we will launch our Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. By now, most of you should have received a letter from Cardinal Tobin seeking your continued support. With Lent upon us, this is a beautiful time to reflect and give back; your generosity directly sustains the vital ministries and essential programs that serve our entire Archdiocese
