Priests Convocation Sept. 21-24

Bishop Walkowiak and the priests of the diocese, including Father Tony, attend a retreat together every fall. Fall convocation is an important time away from the parishes to build camaraderie, pray together, engage in continuing formation, and celebrate milestone anniversaries.
Please see schedule change reminders for Sept. 22-24 as follows and in the graphic below:
- Daily Mass will not be celebrated Tuesday, Sept. 22 through Thursday, Sept. 24.
- Confession will not be offered on Wednesday, Sept. 23
- Eucharistic Adoration will not be offered on Wednesday, Sept. 23 or Thursday, Sept. 24.
We will resume our regular daily Mass and adoration schedule on Friday, Sept. 25.

WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 22, 9:00-10:00 a.m. & 6:00-7:00 p.m. WHERE: Sanctuary (Main Church, enter through Door B, D or C)
