Friars

Remember last year’s fantastic Family Lenten Mission? The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal will be with us once again with inspiring talks, uplifting music, prayer, Confessions, and Eucharistic Adoration. Be sure to mark your calendar for this beautiful and moving opportunity to encounter Jesus in a more personal way.  

March 9th through March 13th!

Don’t miss this opportunity for renewal and growth in your faith! This “retreat that comes to you” will help you refocus your life on holiness and prayer. We provide babysitting for toddlers & pre-K kids, so the rest of the family can experience the Friars. There truly is something for everyone at the St. Gregory the Great Family Lenten Mission.

Bring the kids!
Everyone is welcome to join us for our Parish Mission. For families with toddlers and pre-K children, our Little Cherubs Nursery will provide childcare on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Please use the form below to sign up.

On Monday evening, children grades K-3 are welcome to participate in our children's activities in the Parish Center, while older children and parents listen to a Friars talk on prayer in the Church and high schoolers attend High School Rock!
