A New Parish Series

Parish Faith Formation

Relit – A New Parish Series

Since Jesus established the Church over 2,000 years ago, the Faith has spread throughout the world. Currently, there are 76 million Catholics in the U.S., but less than 24% of them attend Mass regularly. The New Evangelization can be simply defined in 5 words: the re-evangelization of the baptized. This program is an opportunity to recharge and ignite our love of God and the Church.

Led by Michael Dopp, STL, this training program is an exciting and integrated set of 18 sessions, which help form the participants theologically, spiritually, and practically so that we as a parish, and you as individuals, may more fully live out our fundamental mission of the Church.

The first session is in the evening on Thursday, January 24 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. For those who desire the day sessions, we also have Saturday, January 26, from 9:00-10:30 a.m.

By receiving this formation, you will be renewed in your personal call as a Catholic.

Complete a registration form and return to the office.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself on how you could share the Catholic faith, then please plan to attend this exciting program.

First Friday 12-Hour Adoration

Sunday, October 7th, is RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY.
St. Mother Teresa once said, “What will convert America and save the world? My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of prayer.”

On October 5th, our monthly 12-Hour First Friday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will  occur in Father Johnson Hall. As usual, it will begin after the 8am Mass and end at 9pm with a rosary and benediction. Take Mother Teresa’ advice, and work to change America into a pro-life country!

Friday Adoration Change

St. Mary's by the Sea Roman Catholic Parish Posted on by

First Friday 24-Hour Adoration Change

It is very difficult to staff 24 hours of Adoration each month, especially during the early morning hours. We want to make sure that both the people who attend and Jesus on the Altar are safe. We did have an incident last month and are not sure that it was safe.

The Adoration group, along with the Staff, have decided to change the Adoration hours. So beginning next month, Friday, August 3, First Friday Adoration will begin at 9 am Friday and continue until 9pm Friday. First Friday will then end with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration will not continue through late night Friday and early morning Saturday. All adorers currently volunteering for the late night Friday and early morning Saturday hours are encouraged to volunteer during the 9am-9pm hours on First Friday.

Please call the Office (714-536-6913, x-112) to volunteer for a new hour. Thank you to all who have supported and continue  to support this most important St. Mary’s by the  Sea program.
