Welcome

The Monthly Prayer for Peace Rosary will be held on the 1st day of every month at 5:30 PM.  

Recognizing that with God all things are possible we gather to pray the Rosary seeking the intercession of Mary to bring peace to our world, nation, state, communities, schools, parishes, families, and in our homes.  

Prayer begins in front of the statue of Mary in our parking lot promptly at 5:30 PM - please arrive a few minutes early.  If the weather is bad, we will gather inside the church.

All are invited!  Questions may be directed to Jane Grier at 570-640-7514
