This year’s opening mass, celebrated by Bishop Luis Zarama, is the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The choir for the opening mass is from Transfiguration Catholic Church under the direction of Rod Voss.
Fr. Hepburn and Fr. Fabre will lead this year’s Healing Service, which follows Friday night’s opening Mass. Take the time to gather with fellow Catholics and receive Christ’s healing touch. “When you read the bible it is hard not to notice how often Jesus healed people. That same Jesus is present in the Eucharist, and he will heal the church whenever we gather in faith and prayer and ask for what we need”. Fr. Tim Hepburn
Prayer teams will be available to pray with people. Adoration, prayer, and worship will be from 7:45 – 9:45 with the prayer teams remaining until 10:30.
Celebrants: Fr. Tim Hepburn, Father Jacques E. Fabre, C.S.
