Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Chaplet of Divine Mercy, confession. Join us for a time of prayer & mercy. For questions call or text Shaunna at 801-643-2899

The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, also called the Divine Mercy Chaplet, is a Catholic devotion to the Divine Mercy, based on the Christological apparitions of Jesus Christ reported by Faustina Kowalska, known as "the Apostle of Mercy". She was a Polish religious sister of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy and was canonized as a Catholic saint in 2000 by Pope John Paul II. Kowalska stated that she received this rosary-based prayer directly from Jesus through visions and conversations, who also made specific promises regarding the recitation of the prayer.

Priests, religious, and lay people are still killed in various parts of the world while serving communities and spreading the Faith. The Day of Missionary Martyrs is an observance to remember these missionaries held on March 24, a date commemorating St. Óscar Romero (see above). Catholics around the world are encouraged to pray, fast, and reflect on the sacrifices of missionaries and persecuted Christians, while renewing their own commitment to live out the mission of spreading the faith through service and love. Pictured is Fr. Donald Martin Ye Naing Win, a 44-year-old priest killed on February 14, 2025 by an unknown militia while serving a village in the Archdiocese of Mandalay in Myanmar

Baptism preparation classes are required for parents and godparents. They are held the first Sunday of the month from 11:45 am to 1:45 pm in the Parish Center. If another parish offers the class at a time more convenient for you, please make sure the parish sends us a letter or certificate of completion. Godparents must provide a letter of good standing with the Catholic Church from their home parish.

Baptisms may take place either during a weekend Mass or on the third Sunday of the month at 12:30 pm. To schedule a Baptism during Mass or at a different time, please contact Fr. Joseph.

Join us for a 9 week study beginning Tuesday, January 6th at 9:30am or Thursday January 8th, at 6:30 pm in the Bishop Federal room. For more information, please contact Janet Howerton. Details of the bible study on FORMED.

The Diocese of Salt Lake City has been blessed by the recent ordination of Kenneth Parsad. We are looking forward to the ordination of Jaime Zuazo and Jose Luis Gomez Diaz this summer. The education of these two men is due in part to the kindness and generosity of many parishioners who give annually to the Diocesan Development Drive. Please support our five seminarians by giving to the 2026 Diocesan Development Drive. Our quota this year is $157,200. There are DDD pledge forms on the table in the back of the church, you can do a one- time gift or make a pledge to support Church and community!

Social Media Addiction

1.Delay and Discern Platform Use as long as prudently possible.

2. Use Parental Controls: Enable built-in controls. Set time limits. Disable in-app purchases and restrict app downloads.

3.Clear Family Technology Norms: No devices in bedrooms overnight, during homework, family time, meals, including restaurants. Parents must know all passwords.

4.Teach Digital Literacy: Nothing online is truly private; never share personal images to strangers; images are often manipulated; comparison culture harms mental health.

5.Foster Real-World Anchors: Maintaining a fulfilling real world life - family meals, real friendships, activities, and volunteering - helps protect from social media harm. A strong sense of identity, belonging, and purpose makes kids less likely to seek validation online.

Congratulations! Pat Martin

Laudate: A free, comprehensive app with daily Mass readings, Stations of the Cross, Rosary, prayers, multiple Bible versions, catechism, and more.

Hallow: Highly recommend by Mark Wahlberg, Liam Neeson and John Roumie. Stay prayed up!
