First Saturdays with the Blessed Mother: With Jen Settle

Our Lady: Mother of Mercy

We hear in the traditional prayer of the “Hail Holy Queen,” the title of Our Lady as “Mother of Mercy.” As we approach Divine Mercy Sunday, we will reflect together on Our Lady’s title of “Mother of Mercy” and how we can approach her tender motherhood and ask for her intercession at all times, but especially when we approach the Sacrament of Confession. Join us in this reflection of “Our Lady: Mother of Mercy” and Divine Mercy!

Program 9:00-10:30

Confessions 10:30-11:45 am

Mass 12 Noon
