Middle school girls today are understandably confused about their true worth and beauty. That’s why Walking with Purpose launched BLAZE, a program developed for seventh and eighth grade girls to counteract the way our society drives them to question their value, purpose, beauty and identity. ABVM is proud to bring this fun, faith-filled program to our parish beginning this fall. We will run this weekly program on Friday evenings 6 – 7 pm - October 8, 2021 – March 11, 2022 in the lower level of our church. Please click here for more information and the registration form.

This was recited by children of the parish. It was being done for May 13th, which is normally the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, although this year the Solemnity of the Ascension fell on the same day and superseded it.

Altar servers are very important to an orderly and graceful celebration of the Mass. The honor of serving is also a great benefit to children because it helps them to become more familiar with the Mass, to learn responsibility, to have an opportunity to serve the Church in an important way, and to help them learn how to carry themselves in front of the public.
