Sunday Mass Schedule
Our Sunday Mass schedule is as follows:
Registration opens at 6pm every Tuesday evening on our website. Mass times will not be changing in October.
Confraternity of St. Peter Ceremony
All members of the Confraternity of St. Peter are encouraged to join in a brief ceremony on Sunday, October 18, following the 12 noon Mass. During this ceremony, the new members, who have joined since in the past year, will recite the prayer of the Confraternity kneeling at the communion rail and they will receive a blessing. Also, if they bring their certificate, the priest will hand them to the new members during the brief ceremony. All Confraternity members, old and new, are encouraged to attend.
Registration at Mater Dei
The Chaplain and Assistant Chaplain have the special grace to guide those who are registered parishioners and are hence assigned to their care. The Mass offered for the people every Sunday, Pro Populo, is offered for those who are registered members. Anyone seeking the Sacraments of Baptism, 1st Communion, Confirmation and Matrimony here must be registered and active parishioners for 6 months. Registration forms are available in the back of church or on our website.
FSSP Calendar
The new 2021 calendars from the Fraternity of St. Peter are available in the back of the church. We are asking for a $10 donation per calendar, which can be placed in the collection.
