Mass for Healing Tue, Dec 16 at 6:30pm
If you are ailing physically, hurting emotionally, suffering from the loss of a loved one or feeling spiritually empty, come join the Mass for Healing. In the season of Hope, we are celebrating Christ’s presence in our “healing journey.” Christ is familiar with the troubles of our lives. We need to allow him to be present to us and heal our spirits. |
