Holiday Oplatki

Holiday Oplakti are available  at the Parish Office. Each wafer is $1.00.

This tradition, which came from Poland and Eastern European countries, dates back hundreds of years. Oplatki, a thin flat wafer embossed with a Christmas scene or the Nativity, are typically shared before Christmas Eve dinner. The wafer begins with the oldest person is passed around the table and pieces broken off and blessings are shared.

Evening Confessions
A New Opportunity for Confessions

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
We Need YOU!

Did you know that we offer Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in our chapel?  It’s a blessing for us to have Eucharistic Adoration available every day, but it’s also a lot of work for all of us to keep it going.  The Church requires parishes to have at least two people in Adoration during the hours that the Eucharist is exposed, and we’re currently in need of more people to be with Jesus during these hours on a regular, consistent basis.  Let’s do what we can to meet that requirement.  Please visit our Adoration page for more information on how to sign up for a weekly time of Eucharistic Adoration.
