On every first Friday of the month St. Barbara hosts First Friday Devotions beginning at 5 pm with Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament which begins one holy hour of silent visitation. During that hour the Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered.
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the intentions of all the patrons and benefactors of St. Barbara’s parish follows at 6 pm. We give thanks for the generous individuals who make it possible to continue our ministry of spreading the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, one person at a time, right here, right now. Some of you we know, some of you prefer to remain anonymous. To each of you we say “Thank you” and we pray for you, especially at this First Friday of the Month Holy Eucharist.
