First Saturday Devotion – December 7

Join us for the First Saturday Devotion on the first Saturday of each month. We meet in the Church after the 8:30 am Daily Mass for the rosary and meditation.

This devotion consists of attending Mass, receiving Holy Communion, going to Confession, praying the rosary, and meditating on the mysteries of the rosary for at least 15 minutes on each first Saturday for five consecutive months with the intention of making reparation for blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
