Our Food Bank has been very busy lately. There are always needs for non-perishable items, especially from the middle to the end of each month. Food Bank donations can also be monetary.
The second collection next weekend, July 11/12 will be for our foodbank.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Our St. Gabriel Chapel is open daily.
Ask the Passionist Saints and Blessed to take your intentions and petitions to Our Lord. A prayer intention book is available in that room. Candles may be purchased by placing your donation into the designated box and will burn for your intentions. Boxes of candles may be purchased at the Monastery Office during regular business hours.
Dear Friends,
FEAST OF 120 MARTYRS OF CHINA: This past Thursday was the feast of St. Augustine Zhao Rong and Companions. I have followed the Martyrs since grammar school where the Sisters of Charity of Convent Station taught us to read the lives of the saints and treasure the martyrs. Somehow, I did not know this feast very well. However, it was established by St. John Paul II in the year 2000. It honors 120 Chinese martyrs who died between 1648 and 1930. Priests, children, parents, catechists and laborers are all included.
Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
