Change to Daily Mass Confession Schedule (effective immediately -12/11/25)
Dear Parishioners,
​We are in the midst of somewhat of a transition with our priest and our Family of Parishes. Fr. John Adams has taken on additional responsibilities elsewhere in regard to Healing Ministries throughout the Diocese. With this in mind, we are having to reduce the number of times confession is offered before our daily Masses. Confession will continue to be offered 30 minutes before all Vigil Masses on Saturday.
The new daily Mass confession schedule is as follows:
Monday and Wednesday at 8 am – OLHC Chapel
Tuesday at 8 am – Queen of Martyrs
Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30 am – Resurrection
Friday at 11:30 am – St. Josaphat  

Eucharistic Adoration in the OLHC Chapel every Monday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

The OLHC Chapel is Monday through Friday from 8 am to 2 pm for private Adoration.

Chaplet to the Divine Mercy is every Friday, 10 minutes before Mass.

First Friday Devotion
Masses are at 8:30 am at OLHC Chapel and 12:00 pm at St. Josaphat with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and prayers to the Sacred Heart.
“I promise you, in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the first Friday for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance; they shall not die in my disgrace nor without receiving the sacraments; my divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in that last moment.” ~Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary
How to complete the First Friday’s Devotion:
1. Receive Holy Communion on each First Friday;
2. The nine Fridays must be consecutive;
3. They must be made in honor and in reparation to His Sacred Heart.

First Saturday Devotion
Mass is at 8:30 am at Resurrection. Our Lady requested each of us to do Five First Saturdays with the intention of making reparation to Her Immaculate Heart.
The practice of the devotion of Five First Saturdays consists of:
1. Going to Confession (before First Saturday)
​2. Receiving Holy Communion on the First Saturday
3. Reciting five decades of the Rosary 4. Keeping Mary company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary.  
​
Blessing of sacramentals (rosaries, medals, crosses and other holy items): Every First Saturday of month after 8.30 am Mass.  

Check the Bulletin for Holy Day Masses.

*Important - Donation envelopes can be given to any Church of the Mass you attend and will be sent to the Parish of your membership. Thank you for your continued financial support!
                                                                               The Anointing of the Sick

Every Tuesday after the 12 pm Mass at Resurrection Parish, Father will celebrate The Sacrament of the Healing for people who are sick with serious illnesses or conditions, those who will have surgeries and prepare for other serious medical procedures, those who have depression or other mental or psychological health conditions. The Anointing of the Sick cannot be given to children, youth or younger people who don’t have any serious medical problem. This sacrament forgives sins and heals the soul, also strengthens the human body and mind in hope of Christ Resurrection. People are encouraged to receive Confession before the Sacrament of Anointing. Please stay in Church after Mass, move to the front of the Church and receive every month the Healing that comes from Gods Mercy through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. The sacrament of healing should only be received once a month.
We warmly welcome Parishioners, Friends and those visiting our area to join us for our Services.

If you are joining or the Catholic Faith, please click here for information on our RCIA Program.

COVID safety rules should be followed when in our church.  Based on Health Official and Diocesan guidelines, masks are optional.  Individuals from different households are encouraged to maintain reasonable separation.

Holy Communion in our Churches
​Those who want to receive Eucharist on the tongue should only go to our Priest using the center isle leading up to the alter. For those who want to receive the Eucharist on hand and worry that the priest may have previously given the Holy Communion on the tongue, please go to the Extra Ordinary Minister helping Father using the side isles leading to the alter. The lay Ministers should only give Holy Communion on hand so that our Brothers and Sisters who worry, can peacefully receive the Bread of Life. Thank you. Blessings, Fr. Jozef & Fr. Marcin 

If you are not feeling well, please stay home.  Thank you!
