NOTE: When the Calendar lists a day as a "Ferial" day, it means that no
firmly established festival is assigned to that day. The celebrating Priest will be
free to say the Mass of the preceeding Sunday, the Mass proper to any Saints
normally only commemorated on that day, or he might say a Votive Mass
of his own choosing.

NOTE: The weekday Masses are always subject to schedule changes, because
the availability of Priests who travel the Mission Circuit changes from time
to time. Please refer to the detailed schedule below for exact dates and times.

NOTE: It would be an act of Charity for those who live close to the Church to avail themselves of the Sacrament of Penance on Tuesdays and Saturdays. This would allow those who live far away and who can only confess on Sundays a much better chance to be heard before Mass.

First Friday (before Mass) 6:15 PM

First Saturday (before Mass) 7:15 AM

Sunday (before each Mass - 6:30 AM and 8:00 AM.)
Webmaster's Note: There is only one priest available to hear confessions before each Sunday Mass. The faithful are encouraged to avoid the long lines and the real possibility of not receiving absolution by availing themselves of the Sacrament on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Other times - if there is a need the failthful may call the priory to arrange.

Baptisms - Call the Priory to make arrangements.

Marriages - Call the Priory for inquiries and to make arrangements.
