Father help us to live as the Holy Family, united in respect and love.
The greatest blessing you bring to your family is the presence of God in your life. The fragrance of His presence sweetens the atmosphere of your home. The beauty of His presence warms the relationships within it’s walls. The joy of His presence lightens every heart. The glory of His presence fills all it’s chambers with rare and precious treasures.

O Come let us adore Him.
Jesus, who came to us as a Babe in the manger, waits for us daily in the tabernacle to come and visit Him. On the First Friday of each month, the Sacred Host, the same Jesus, is exposed in the monstrance so we can adore Him more profoundly from 9:30 AM to 12:00 Noon. When the disciples asked Jesus “Where are you staying?” Jesus answered, “Come and see.”
