Pastor’s Note

Fr. Joseph LoJaconoOver time you will get to know our IVE religious family and aspects of our spirituality. Some things you may notice is that we insert a prayer offering a consecration to the Virgin Mary in most Masses after communion. Additionally, if you come during the week, you may see us praying our daily holy hour of Eucharistic adoration with the liturgy of the hours. Once we establish a more regularly schedule, we will invite the general public to these holy hours. We will start the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after every Mass, which was recommended by St. John Paul II.

Regular confessional times, will take place in the confessionals following diocesan Covid guidelines, unless someone asks for another location. Each person may sanitize the confessional between penitents if you so wish. Please note that confessions during Masses are allowed by Church documents. The new confessional schedule will start in September. I encourage everyone to come to confession regularly.
