Please join us for an evening Mass and Eucharistic Healing Service. Several priests will be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
This will be an evening full of grace as we open ourselves to receive His mercy and healing in preparation for the celebration of Christmas.

Sr. Briege McKenna, O.S.C.was born in Ireland and entered the Sisters of St. Clare at the age of fifteen.Following her final vows and after suffering for more than three years with rheumatoid arthritis, she was transferred to her community in Tampa, Florida with the hope that the Florida sunshine would relieve her suffering. At the age of twenty-four, she was miraculously and instantaneously healed during the celebration of the Eucharist and some time later received, in prayer, the gift of healing for which she has become so widely known. In 1974, again during prayer, she was given a deep spiritual insight into the call to priesthood. Since then, bishops and priests in many parts of the world have invited her to speak and minister at their retreats and conferences. Her book, "Miracles Do Happen" has been translated into many languages through out the world.

Fr. Kevin Scallon, C.M., is a priest of the Vincentian Community who was born in Ireland. In his early years he ministered in both England and Nigeria. In 1976, Fr. Kevin, While on the faculty of All Hallows College, started the "Intercession for Priests" in Ireland. Since then he, along with Sr. Briege McKenna, has been ministering to priests and lay people across the globe.
