ADORATION & CONFESSION

Every Friday, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for public Adoration after the 9:00am Mass until 5:00PM.  It is usually concluded with silent reposition and Benediction on First Fridays.

Also each Friday, from 4:30pm, there's an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Confession.  Please note of our newly refurbished Confessional, which provides the traditional screen that separates the priest confessor from the penitent as well as the option for a face to face confession. 

Thanks to Deacon Virgil and the Liturgical Arts for making this sacred space for spiritual healing and reconciliation.

Every Tuesday at 7:00pm

An excellent way to deepen our knowledge and appreciation of Sacred Scriptures, is to understand the context, history, and message of the different Books of the Bible.  

Come and join SAC's virtual Bible Study every Tuesday from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.  Deacon Virgil and the SAC Clergy lead the study.
