Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
"It is true. I stand at the door of your heart, day and night. Even when you are not listening, even when you doubt it could be Me. I am there. I await even the smallest sign of your response, even the least whispered invitation that will allow Me to enter.
I want you to know that each time you invite Me, I do come always, without fail. Silent and invisible I come, yet with a power and a love most infinite, bringing the many gifts of My Spirit."
So what happens when we open the door of our heart? Shawn and Jen Shields share their experience of the Light of the World Retreat and how opening the door has changed their lives.
Lent 2020
Lenten Soup Suppers Begin Tomorrow!
Join us on Friday evenings during Lent at 6:00pm for our Lenten Soup Suppers. As we come together for this simple meal of meatless soup and bread, it reminds us how we are called to practice a simpler lifestyle during Lent. Each week will be hosted by a different parish ministry or group, and several different homemade soups will be served beginning at 6:00pm. This Friday will be hosted by Nancy Hughes CCD class.
A freewill offering will be accepted at the door (a suggested offering is what you would have typically spent on dinner). All proceeds from the soup supper will benefit our Parish Lenten Service Project. Additional information as well as how to register online for this service project will be coming soon!
Stations of the Cross
Also on Friday evenings during Lent, we will pray the Stations of the Cross. Praying the Stations of the Cross brings us closer to Christ as we meditate on the great love He showed for us in His most sorrowful Passion. Like the Simple Soup Suppers, the Stations of the Cross will be led by a different group each week.
We hope you will join us tomorrow!
Lenten Resources
In Our Desert We Meet God In prayer we are led into the desert, and there, away from the masks and camouflages, we have to stand in the truth. Our desert is any place where we confront God. There are no paths in the desert except the ones you make by walking on them.

Palm Burning and Pancake Supper
What a great turnout we had last night at our first Palm Burning and Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper! It was so great to see so many parishioners and school families. THANK YOU to our Youth Ministry Group who did a fantastic job setting up, cooking and cleaning - we estimate that these amazing students flipped and served about 500 pancakes to a packed hall. THANK YOU to our Baking Ministry who baked and decorated beautiful King's Cup Cakes and THANK YOU to members of our Liturgy Ministry who helped coordinate the evening!
