Spiritual life ministries are focused on living and teaching the faith in less formal environments than official Religious Education for Children or RCIA classes. They bring the faith to life through fellowship and community, sharing what they've learned through their own experiences, so we can all advance in holiness in the one, holy, catholic church.
In addition to the ministries included under Spiritual Life, see the Faith Formation tab for more ways to grow in faith, including information on the Special Opportunities for Faith Formation, where the
Parish Mission page can be found. Also, one sure way to grow closer to the Lord is
Eucharistic Adoration. Adoration visits are available in Our Lady of Sorrows Church:
Monday – Friday from 7:30 am to 8:00 pm
Saturday – 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Note: On Thursdays, there is Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance on the altar after the 7:00 am Mass until reposition at 8 pm.
