Mass schedule as follows: 12:05 pm & 6:00 pm.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

Pray, O Mother, for those who suffers poverty and

injustice, violence and hatred, terror and war.

Help us to contemplate with the rosary

the mysteries of Him who “is our peace’,

so that we will all feel involved

in a persevering dedication of service to peace.

Look with special attention upon the land in which

you gave birth to Jesus, a land that you loved togeth-

er with Him, and that is still so sorely tried today.

Pray for us Mother of hope!

Give us days of peace, watch over our way.

Let us see your Son as we rejoice in heaven. Amen.
