Lenten Parish Mission: “Work Out Your Salvation” (Philippians 2:12)

Dates: Monday, February 22 – Thursday, February 24, 2021

Missionary Preacher: Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM

We are excited to announce that Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM will preach our Lenten Parish Mission. Fr. Menezes is Assistant General of the Fathers of Mercy. The Fathers of Mercy is a Roman Catholic Congregation of priests whose primary apostolate is preaching parish missions and retreats, with an emphasis on the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Confession.

If you watch or listen to EWTN, you will be very familiar with Fr. Wade as he has been a guest and host on EWTN for many years. He currently hosts the series “The Crux of the Matter” and “The Wonder of His Mercy.”

Pope Francis has announced that December 8, 2020 through December 8, 2021 is “The Year of St. Joseph.” Fr. Menezes recently wrote two articles on this pronouncement which can be read at the following links: Click Here

Parish Mission Prayer

Heavenly Father, we humbly beseech You to make us more faithful sons and daughters of Your Son’s Church. Help us to be joyful, knowledgeable Catholics living in the midst of the modern world, so that we may be beacons of light shining forth in defense of the Church’s Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and Magisterium, her teaching office. Help us always to cultivate the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity in our daily lives, so that whether single, married, or as consecrated bishops, priest, deacons, or Religious, we may always share Your Truth with others. We ask this through Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
