Choir Rehearsal
Sacred Music is a glorious and beautiful expression of prayer. In the Roman Catholic tradition, text and music corresponds to the mystery we celebrate, the structure of the rites, and the seasons of the liturgical year. In the course of the history of the Church, we have a rich heritage of musical styles including chant, polyphony, standard hymns, folk, and gospel, meditative contemporary tunes, simple melodies and rousing songs. Each style speaks to the heart of the faithful of various ages, cultural backgrounds and levels of faith. As we participate in the singing of texts of Sacred Scripture within the context of Sacred Mystery, it resonates within our hearts. Music sung together within the context of the sacred liturgy is a unifying force. Instrumental music inspires. Come and join us!

Eucharist Adoration
The Eucharist is the center of the life of the Church and by giving Honor to God, Eucharistic Adoration touches the heart of her mission as expressed in the Our Father: “Hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done…” Jesus is truly present under the appearance of bread with His body, blood, soul and divinity. Christ loves us to the point of dying on the Cross for us as St. Paul exclaims, “He loved me and delivered Himself for me.” In Adoration we respond to Jesus’ prayer: “Pray with me, stay with me, watch and pray.” In the Eucharist, Jesus offers Himself to the Father and He deserves our worship and adoration. Pray as you like. Reading and meditation lead to communion with the Lord or just bask in the light of the Eucharist. St. John of the Cross said: “One instant of pure love is more precious in the eyes of God and more profitable to the whole Church than all good works put together.” Come before the Blessed Sacrament to share your pure love. Allow Christ to work on you and through you. By coming before the Eucharist, you tell the world that the Eucharist is the Word of God made Man. St. Pope John Paul II said about adoration: “The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.” Reconciliation
Reconciliation is offered every Saturday at 3:30 P.M. and every Tuesday at 5:00 PM. OR by appointment, Please call Parish Office to schedule at 414-762-0552.
Why Go to Confession? Not only does the Sacrament of Reconciliation free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. We are liberated to be forgivers. We obtain new insight into the words of the Prayer of St. Francis: "It is in pardoning that we are pardoned." Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is a holy moment in which we place ourselves in His presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the truth that we cannot live without God. "In Him we live and move and have our being." (Acts 17:28) Adapted from United States Catholic Catechism for Adults
Advent and Lenten Communal Reconciliations are scheduled each year. Please see our parish bulletin for details on communal reconciliations.

Reconciliation
Tuesday May 6, 2025 5:00 PM to 5:45 PM
Reconciliation is offered every Saturday at 3:30 P.M. and every Tuesday at 5:00 PM.
OR by appointment, Please call Parish Office to schedule at 414-762-0552.
Why Go to Confession?
Not only does the Sacrament of Reconciliation free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. We are liberated to be forgivers. We obtain new insight into the words of the Prayer of St. Francis: "It is in pardoning that we are pardoned."
Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is a holy moment in which we place ourselves in His presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the truth that we cannot live without God. "In Him we live and move and have our being." (Acts 17:28)

Advent and Lenten Communal Reconciliations are scheduled each year.

Choir Rehearsal
Thursday May 8, 2025 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
Sacred Music is a glorious and beautiful expression of prayer. In the Roman Catholic tradition, text and music corresponds to the mystery we celebrate, the structure of the rites, and the seasons of the liturgical year. In the course of the history of the Church, we have a rich heritage of musical styles including chant, polyphony, standard hymns, folk, and gospel, meditative contemporary tunes, simple melodies and rousing songs. Each style speaks to the heart of the faithful of various ages, cultural backgrounds and levels of faith. As we participate in the singing of texts of Sacred Scripture within the context of Sacred Mystery, it resonates within our hearts. Music sung together within the context of the sacred liturgy is a unifying force. Instrumental music inspires. Come and join us!
- Cantors lead the psalm and assist the assembly’s singing for 4:30pm Vigil Mass and 8:30am Sunday Mass. We rehearse during the week as needed.
- Our choir meets on Thursday afternoons from September through May from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM. We lead the psalm, assist the assembly’s singing, and sing a prelude and meditation for the 10:30am Mass each weekend and on Holy Days.
- Instrumentalists are welcome to join us at all Masses. We rehearse during the week as needed.

Eucharist Adoration
Tuesday May 13, 2025 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM
The Eucharist is the center of the life of the Church and by giving Honor to God, Eucharistic Adoration touches the heart of her mission as expressed in the Our Father: “Hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done…” Jesus is truly present under the appearance of bread with His body, blood, soul and divinity. Christ loves us to the point of dying on the Cross for us as St. Paul exclaims, “He loved me and delivered Himself for me.” In Adoration we respond to Jesus’ prayer: “Pray with me, stay with me, watch and pray.”
In the Eucharist, Jesus offers Himself to the Father and He deserves our worship and adoration. Pray as you like. Reading and meditation lead to communion with the Lord or just bask in the light of the Eucharist. St. John of the Cross said: “One instant of pure love is more precious in the eyes of God and more profitable to the whole Church than all good works put together.” Come before the Blessed Sacrament to share your pure love.
Allow Christ to work on you and through you. By coming before the Eucharist, you tell the world that the Eucharist is the Word of God made Man. St. Pope John Paul II said about adoration: “The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.”
