- 7PM CONFESSIONS ON FIRST WEDNESDAYS - After trying a 7pm confession time on first Wednesdays on a trial basis, I have decided to continue offering confessions following the first-Wednesday men's group meetings but not to offer confessions on first Wednesdays apart from the men's group meetings. Other parishioners are still welcome to come to confessions when available following the men's group, but I will no longer be advertising this as a distinct time slot. -Fr. Schrader

Schrader will offer a solemn blessing of the fields and flocks of all the surrounding countryside. "Rogation" means "asking." Since the late 400s, the Church has set aside certain days of the year to ask for God's blessing for crops and animals as well as deliverance from various evils. April 25 is the feast of St. Mark, when the Major Rogation for the year has traditionally been held. Please join us in prayer and procession on this day! Booklets with the prayers will be provided.
