‘I feel the regular, steady, docile practice of corporate worship is of utmost importance for the building-up of your spiritual life…no amount of solitary reading makes up for humble immersion in the life and worship of the Church’.

– Evelyn Underhill, Letters

Sundays

The Sunday Mass is currently offered at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM throughout the Fall to Spring. In the summer, a single 9:30 AM Mass is offered on Sundays. All masses are family family friendly services suitable for all ages. The 8:00 AM Mass is a simple said service without music or choir, while the 10:00 AM Mass features an organ and choir to lead the congregation in singing hymns. The 9:30 AM summer Mass features music, but no choir. All services run around an hour in length. On occasion, when noted, Sunday services may be held at different times, often for reasons of having a luncheon after the mass.

In addition, Mass is offered every Thursday at 10:00 am in the Chapel of St. Michael and All Angels with special intercessory prayers for the needs of the church and the world, as well as the laying on of hands and anointing of the sick. This is sometimes referred to as a healing mass. It is quite appropriate for anyone who is ill, but is also a wonderful time in which parishioners faithfully gather to pray for others who are sick, and to bring their needs before God.
