Devotion to the Holy Face and Our Lady of Sorrows at Holy Family and St Alphonsus parishes 13 – 15 September

“The restoration of Holy families and the society depends on making the devotion to the Holy Face and Our Lady of Sorrows known. The Holy Face is the currency of the kingdom of heaven through which we purchase souls and make reparation for the sins against the first three Commandments that hurt the majesty of God. As our Lady especially reiterated at Fatima, ‘the solution to all the problems of the human race are not in political or economic changes but regeneration of souls’. Rev N. Akindele, pastor

UPDATE #2 12:05 pm, Tuesday, 15 August: Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Davenport, Holy Family: Confessions 11:25, Rosary 11:35, Low Mass 12:05: Update… to accommodate those who wish to fulfill their holy day obligation at this Mass – but need to return to work speedily – (1) the mandatory homily will be briefly given to those who can stay after the Last Gospel, when the optional Leonine prayers which normally follow will be omitted…

And, (2) The distribution of Holy Communion will take place ONLY after that point, the preaching of the aforementioned homily – not during the customary time.

A Holy Day of Obligation
