Each Friday after the 6:30p Stations of the Cross devotion, the parish will offer a devotional Votive Mass dedicated to Christ’s Passion. In addition, relics of the Passion of Christ, such as a relic of the True Cross and a nail made from the shavings of the nails that pierced Our Lord, will be on the different altars at the parish and available for veneration after Mass. There is also a meatless dinner hosted by the Knights of Columbus after the Friday Masses of Lent.
