What We Do

Praise and Worship

Every Tuesday night we are blessed to have the HOPE Band to provide us the music we need to lift our hearts and voices to God in praise. This is followed by silent prayer and reflection given by

Fr. Richard Champigny, O. Carm.

''And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod. And David and all the house of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet.''

2 Samuel 6:14

The Healing Mass

On the last Tuesday of the month, we host a healing mass. This consists of the Holy Mass followed by the procession of the Holy Eucharist, adoration, and the laying on of hands. All of which are spear headed by our beloved priest.

''Jesus then asked, '''Who touched me?''' While all were denying it, Peter said, '''Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you.''' But Jesus said, '''Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me.''' When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.

He said to her, '''Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.'''

Luke 8:46-48

Healing Prayer Ministry

Branching off of the HOPE prayer meetings is the Healing Prayer Ministry. On Monday nights, trained prayer ministers are available to sit down and pray with you for healing or through any struggle you may be enduring.
