Daily Reflection
Saint of the Day
St. Philip Neri
Known as the "joyful saint," Philip drew the people of Rome back to God with humor, warmth, and obvious love. He gathered priests and laypeople into the Oratory for prayer, music, and conversation. He believed holiness should be attractive, not grim. He is sometimes called the second apostle of Rome.
“Cheerfulness strengthens the heart and makes us persevere in a good life.”
Bible Verse of the Day
“We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 5:3-5
III.
First Time?
You're welcome here.
Here are a few things we tell everyone before their first Sunday, so nothing feels unfamiliar.
- Can I receive Communion?
- Holy Communion is for Catholics in a state of grace who are prepared to receive it, but you are welcome to come forward with your arms crossed for a blessing, or simply stay in your pew and pray with us.
- How do I become Catholic?
- The first step towards becoming a Catholic starts with a meeting with our priest. Please call the front office or go in person to schedule a meeting.
- What should I wear?
- There is no strict dress code for attending Mass, but we encourage you to dress respectfully, as the Holy Mass is a time of sacred worship.
- I'm bringing kids.
- Please do. Little ones are always welcome. The Kenny Room, located to the right of the main entrance, is available if you fear that they will be disruptive.
