SUMMARY:Mary's Way of the Cross
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Mary’s Way of the Cross on Friday\, March 20 at 7:00 PM in the Church\, presented by SSJ Women’s Ministries. This special Lenten devotion invites us to walk the journey of Christ’s Passion through the eyes and heart of Mary\, reflecting on her faith\, sorrow\, and unwavering trust in God. During Lent\, taking time to pray the Way of the Cross helps us slow down\, deepen our compassion for Christ’s sacrifice\, and prepare our hearts for Easter. All are welcome to come and experience this prayerful evening of reflection and hope.

SUMMARY:Family Faith Night
DESCRIPTION:Family Faith Night: Dinner\, Fellowship\, and Formation\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE to RSVP! \n\n\n\nWe are here to walk alongside parents and families in every step of their faith journey. A child’s earliest and most meaningful experience of God’s love\, provision\, and forgiveness begins at home\, where faith is nurtured through everyday family life. \n\n\n\nModeled after the Holy Family\, Catholic families are called to be the living Church in the world—sharing Christ’s love through daily witness and fostering faith within their homes. \n\n\n\nFamily Faith Nights bring this calling to life by gathering families for a shared meal\, joyful fellowship\, and faith formation. Together\, parents and children encounter Christ\, strengthen their relationship with Him\, and deepen their lifelong connection with the Church and parish community.
