Please join us for Stations of the Cross devotions, as we reflect upon Jesus' final days on Earth and His sacrifice for us. Stations services will be held at SSPP Church each Friday from February 19th through March 26th at 5:15 pm and at St. Mary's on February 26th, March 12th and March 26th at 7:00 pm.

Consider registering for the BEST LENT EVER program provided by Matthew Kelly and the Dynamic Catholic team. The short daily videos only take a few moments; however, they inspire contemplations to reflect on throughout your day. Click on the announcement title to be taken to the registration site.

Bishop Joensen and the Diocese of Des Moines have encouraged each Parish to add a weekly Holy Hour for Eucharistic Renewal. "This time of prayer is meant to ask for an outpouring of grace in our Diocese, specifically to draw us deeper into communion with Jesus, fully present in the Eucharist, and to inspire our missionary efforts to invite others into communion with Jesus." Please join us at SSPP each Wednesday during the Lenten Season (beginning February 24th) at 7:00 pm. An individual and family prayer guide can be accessed by clicking the title of this message.
