Rosary

A group meets each Monday night at 6:15 PM at Immaculate Conception to recite the rosary together. All are welcome to join in this powerful worship.

Scripture Study

Every Thursday morning at 8, two groups meet (men and women) to offer prayer for needs, personal, local, and global; and to read and discuss the scripture for the following Sunday Mass. This results in a richer understanding of the Liturgy. All are welcome to join – come and see and find how enriching this ‘study’ can be! The groups share Eucharist at 9AM.

Also, Tuesday nights at 7PM at IC a men’s scripture study group meets as well as an intercessory prayer group.
