Advent Penance Services have been scheduled for the period December 6th through December 21st. Please take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

This year, the Vatican has decided once again to grant a plenary indulgence to Catholics who visit a cemetery to pray for the dead on any day in the month of November.

In a typical year, the Church only grants this plenary indulgence for the souls in Purgatory to those who pray in a cemetery on Nov. 1-8, the week of the Solemnity of All Souls’ Day.

But last year the Apostolic Penitentiary issued a decree that extended the availability of certain plenary indulgences amid concerns about avoiding large gatherings of people in churches or cemeteries due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Vatican announced on Oct. 28 that this same decree would also apply in November 2021.

Pray for a different person on each of the eight days.

Update: all masses on Ash Wednesday are cancelled due to weather and road conditions.

Due to the cold, power outages, and unsafe road conditions Father has canceled Masses for tonight, Monday night, Tuesday Morning, and Wednesday Morning.

Lets continue to pray for each other, that all remain safe. Let us, also, pray for those we may not know who are dealing with the cold weather without the necessary resources to deal with it.
