The purpose of the Catholic Apologetics group is to help one another learn to explain and defend the teachings, beliefs, and practices of the Catholic Church, to remove objections, shed light on difficult or misunderstood matters, and ultimately help win minds and souls for Jesus Christ.
Meetings are held on the second Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 PM.

The Divine Mercy Cenacle is named for the upper room where Jesus met with His disciples for the Last Supper. Just as the disciples sat with Jesus in that upper room, participants in the cenacle will listen to Jesus through Scripture, the Catechism, the diary of St. Faustina, and prayer. The Divine Mercy Cenacle of St. Mary’s explores the writings of St. Faustina and focuses on the message of the Divine Mercy. The group meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month, in Room #109, from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m.

People are invited to host the statue in their home for one week. Our Lady of Fatima appeared to St. Jacinta, St. Francesco, and St. Lucia in 1917 in Portugal. This statue has been in our parish for for more than forty years with The Blue Army. The only requirement is that the rosary is prayed daily in the home.
If interested in having the statue in your home, please contact Hope Chavanne by phone at 633-9535, text at 726-479-5043 or send an email if you have any questions

Families are welcome.
