Each year during the month of December, we take names for our Christmas Bell trees.  Please submit names of loved ones living or deceased to have a bell represent them.  Also all names will be remembered here at the Shrine during Mass and novena prayers. Everyone here at the Shrine wishes you and your families a wonderful Season of Advent and Christmas.

Cada año durante el mes de diciembre, tomamos nombres para nuestra campana de Navidad árboles. Por favor, envíe los nombres de sus seres queridos vivos o difuntos para tener una campana que les representan. Todos los nombres también será recordado aquí en el Santuario durante la misa y la novena oraciones. Todos aquí en el Santuario le desea a usted y a su familia una temporada maravillosa del Adviento y de la Navidad.

There will be an RCIA and Adult Faith Study Sunday mornings at 9:45am to 10:45am.

A 20-part series titled "SYMBOLON: The Catholic Faith Explained" will be presented.  Each video session will last for 30-35 minutes.  We will read Scripture and Catechism references as time allows.

The video series will start Sept. 25th.  The series tells the whole story, but each session is a separate topic.  You are welcome to join for all or any Sunday mornings.
