In addition, the Chapel will be open every First Friday and First Saturday and also for any group who would want to reserve the Chapel for use.

We are appealing for volunteers for this endeavour and interested persons are asked to register with the ushers. Flyers are also available from the ushers. Training will be provided as needed. We look forward to your support as we work together to bring Hope and Healing to our brothers and sisters in our parish.
