  • stations of the cross

    • regular stations of the cross are offered on Friday evenings during Lent.
    • living stations of the cross are held on the evening of Palm Sunday.

  • confidential healing prayer is available in the prayer room after the 10:30 mass every Sunday—and after the 4:00 mass on the first and third Saturdays of the month. Many have experienced the healing power of Jesus is this room. If you are in need of healing, please prayerfully consider stopping at the prayer room.

  • The prayer chain allows for you to be prayed for by many people within our community. Many parishoners have received healing through our prayer chain. If you are in need of prayer or would like to join the chain to pray for others, please call 334-1412.

  • The prayer shawl ministry is a powerful spiritual practice that combines compassion with the love of knitting and crocheting. It reaches out to those in need with comfort and solace—and with celebration and joy. Recipients of shawls include homebound people, those in hospitals, and numerous others. Many blessings are prayed into every shawl.

    The Rush-Henrietta Catholic Churches (RHCC) Prayer Shawls chapter includes Guardian Angels, Good Shepherd, St. Joseph's Churches, and the RIT Catholic Community. Please join us for fellowship and prayerful knitting. For more information, contact MaryEllen Arden at mearden@hotmail.com.
