Everyone is invited to join our RCIA Candidates and Catechumens for a "teaching Mass" on Sunday, January 31, at 5 p.m. This will be the actual Mass for that Sunday, the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, albeit in a teaching style. What you don't know about the Mass might be the one thing that's keeping you from being blessed by its grace and riches. This Mass will also be livestreamed on our website. Come and grow in your appreciation of the Mass!
