First Saturday Devotion
The First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of
Mary was first mentioned by Our Lady of Fatima on July 13,
1917. After showing the three children a vision of hell, she
said, "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go.
To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion
to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done,
many souls will be saved and there will be peace...I shall
come to ask for...Communion of reparation on the first
Saturdays...
Join us after the 8AM Mass on Saturday, September 4th, in
the meeting rooms in the Parish Education Center. We will
pray a rosary together, enjoy coffee and donuts and learn
more about the First Saturday Devotion.

Attention Students Grades 9-12
Our high school choir, "Voices of Hope" will be preparing for
the new season. Our first rehearsal will be on Sunday night,
August 22nd at 5:45PM. At that first practice, the director
would like as many parents as possible to attend for the first 15
minutes of practice for a brief meeting to review some key points,
dates and objectives of our high school choir. We are not only
looking for voices for our choir, but also some additional guitars, a
bass and flutes. We rehearse every Sunday night from 6-7:10PM.
This way those that are involved in the youth group meetings
which start at 7:15PM can attend. We will sing approximately
every other weekend at the 5:30PM Mass. Contact Chip Adams
for information at 610-670-0493.
