Young Mothers Study - We Need Your Interest to Make It Happen!
Are you a mom with a baby or toddler? You’re invited to join other moms for a new study at our parish called Navigating Motherhood—a supportive, faith-filled space to connect, learn, and grow through the joys and challenges of early motherhood. The course will meet twice a month for 9 sessions. Moms with children under 2 who complete the study will receive a special gift—a needed baby item such as a crib or car seat. We’d love to offer this opportunity but can only offer the class if enough moms express interest! If you’d like to participate or learn more, please contact Amy Wigley at 423-208-1261 or [email protected]. |

Catholic Morality vs. Society (Adult Faith Formation)
Why does society’s “common sense” so often seem to clash with Catholic teaching? Join us for a lively series where we unpack hot-button issues—such as life, family and sexuality, social justice, economics and work, politics, war and peace, and more—with wisdom, wit, and a touch of holy humor. Sessions are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM. No sign-up is required—just bring your questions and come ready for discussion! For more information, text John Fava at 423-503-8768. Bridge the gap between culture and faith! |

Eucharistic Adoration
“Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.” – St. Teresa of Calcutta Spend time with Jesus, present in the Blessed Sacrament. He is available for Adoration Monday through Friday from 7:30am - 9am and every Friday from after the 9am mass to noon in the sanctuary. The monstrance will be on the main altar. You are welcome anytime! If you are able, we ask you to schedule a regular time on Fridays to ensure someone is always present. The Rosary will be recited during Eucharistic Adoration at 8:30 am each weekday. To sign up for a holy hour, contact Dale Osterling at 423-664-3038.
