Sacrament of Reconciliation: Every Saturday from Noon – 1pm

Confessions are heard at Gate of Heaven during the odd Months (January , March, May, July, September & November) and at Our Lady of Victory during the even months (February, April, June, August, October & December).

We have resumed using the proper confessionals for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Monthly Parish Prayer Hour

Monthly Parish Payer Hour will be discontinued going forward

Although we will no longer meet to pray,  you may continue to pray for our parishes and parishioners at home.  The Parish is always in need of prayer, but now even more.  Prayer allows us to open ourselves up to God’s action in our lives.  Prayer is a time when we humbly approach our Lord and submit our lives, intentions and plan for his guidance, insights, strength and providence.

In preparation for the live stream of the Holy Mass on Sunday

The following prayer is very important to help you enter into the communion part of the Mass…so as to experience a spiritual communion with the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

You may pray it when I am receiving the Body and Blood of Christ at the altar, just before I purify the vessels. 

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen

After Spiritually receiving the Graces of Holy Communion you may pray the following prayer

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever. Amen.
