For Jesus to be King of the Universe FOR ME, he must first be King of my heart. 

This Advent, our parish launched Heart to Heart, an initiative to ignite a deeper love for Jesus and each other by committing to a rule of life inspired by the 5 stones of Medjugorje. This is to chart the course over this liturgical year to seek holiness through a commitment to a rule of life and entrusting our homes to Enthronement's to the Sacred Heart. Together, we’ll prepare the way of the Lord in our hearts so we can radiate His Sacred Heart to every soul we encounter.

What are the 5 Stones: 

1. Sunday Mass and Holy Days
2. Daily meditation on scripture
3. Daily Rosary
4. Monthly confession
5. Fasting or some form of penance

Advent marks the start of the Church’s New Year—what better time to embrace these essentials of prayer, fasting, Scripture, the Eucharist, and Confession as a family? Guided by Our Blessed Mother’s wisdom, we’ll journey from simple steps to transformative living, with opportunities for all ages: homily series, book studies, blogs, podcasts, and daily reflections.

Our 2025 goals:
