Join the Knightsfrom 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall for the annual Fish Fry every Friday during Lent. Plates are $8 for adults and $5 for children. You have your choice of baked fish, fried fish or shrimp. The plate also includes three sides, dessert and a drink. You are free to dine-in or take-out! Also, during the Fish Fry, the Ladies Auxiliary have a raffle that you can enter to win different prizes.

Fish Fry Fridays:
March 8, 15, 22, 29   April 5, 12

We will also have Stations of the Cross at 7 p.m. in the church every Friday during Lent. Spend 30-45 minutes on Friday nights at 7 p.m. in the church with the clergy for this popular Lenten devotion. St. Francis of Assisi began this devotion to teach people the unconditional love of Christ. We especially recommend it to those families with young children to learn about these traditional practices of our faith. It’s a great way to spend a Friday evening – come to the KofC Fish Fry and stay for Stations.
    In addition, the chapel will also be open on Friday mornings in Lent following daily 9 a.m. Mass for those who don’t want to be out at night and wish to make the Stations in the daytime hours. This will be self-directed stations.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
We will celebrate the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) with our catechumens and candidates seeking sacramental entrance into the Church on various Sundays in Lent.

Remember them in your prayers and plan to celebrate their initiation into the Church at Easter.
