Don’t forget – Friday Masses during Lent will be celebrated at 6:00pm followed by the Stations of the Cross.

24 Hours for the Lord is a worldwide initiative begun in 2014 by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization, where parishes are encouraged to offer extended periods of Eucharistic Adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament, as well as the Sacrament of Confession, to help people experience more fully the joy of the 4th Sunday of Lent, and to encourage repentance in preparation for Easter.

In celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year, various archdiocesan pilgrimage sites will host 24 Hours for the Lord during March.

Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Panna Maria
