Holy Redeemer

Catholic Church

Dear Holy Redeemer Parishioners, The last 18 months of COVID era has challenged many aspects of our lives Including our faith life. We saw our churches close and number of our mass attendance drop. However, the Lord continued to work in our lives and his love has never left us. Now, therefore, It is our goal to reenergize Holy Redeemer parish. We want to remind ourselves how important it is to pray and celebrate the Eucharist together. We want to simply see more of each other and strengthen our love for the Lord, faith, friendship and family ties. Our theme for this effort is: Holy Redeemer Together to Christ. The next few months beginning with this weekend will provide some of those opportunities. We will start with a 24 hour period of Eucharistic adoration on September 17th and a parish picnic on September 25th at 3PM. There will be individuals who will witness at Mass by sharing their own faith journey, and there will be a parish retreat in Lent. We encourage everyone to take up his or her own torch of faith and let us embark on the journey together to Christ. Let the fire of greater commitment burn in our hearts. Let His light guide us to faithful participation in different ministries in our parish and together let our collective torch be a beacon of light to our neighbors and those in search of Christ. Join us to pray for the outpouring of the power of God upon our parish and our neighborhood during the 24 hour adoration September 17th at 7:15 am to September 18th 8:00 am. Please see the sign-up below. Come out and let us celebrate God’s blessing at our parish picnic September 25th from 3-7 pm. The Lord is good to us and we will love him with all our hearts.
