Family Holy Hour

While parents are always encouraged and welcome to bring their children into the chapel for Adoration, sometimes there is hesitation for fear of disrupting other adorers. MPH Vocations Ministry will host a Family Holy Hour on the second Wednesday of the month 5:30-6:30PM in the Adoration Chapel. There will be soft music and quiet activities. All ages are welcome for any amount of time. Parents will need to stay with their children. If schools is closed for inclement weather, Family Holy Hour will be canceled. You are still welcome to enjoy the Adoration Chapel, no activities will be provided.

Parish School of Religion

For our families with school-age children, PSR (Parish School of Religion) will begin on Sunday, September 28th from 9:00-10:15am. At MPH we keep PSR centered on the family, since the home is where faith is taught and lived first. Parents and children take part together, and our hope is that it is both practical and meaningful. Please contact the office if you’d like to sign up.

Order of Christian Initiation for Adults

This is the process for anyone who wants to become Catholic or simply learn more about the Catholic faith. The first evening will be a meet-and-greet on Tuesday, September 16th at 6:45 in the parish office. If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out to the parish office. A personal invitation often makes all the difference.

Knights of Columbus Silver Rose

The Maryville Knights of Columbus are hosting the travelling Silver Rose for a rosary prayer service at MPH on Tuesday, Sept. 9th after the 6:00pm mass.

In 1960, the Columbian Squires, a youth organization of the Knights of Columbus, came up with the idea of running a rose to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico, to honor Our Lady. The rose was chosen to commemorate Saint Juan Diego and the miracle of the roses.

Today, eight roses travel along different North American routes that include Canada, the United States and Mexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion to pray for respect for life, the spiritual renewal of each nation, and the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Your participation in the Silver Rose program, especially your prayers and pledge for life, are a crucial part of our mission to defend and support life in every stage and condition.

Please join us for this prayer service and invite any friends or family members that may be interested as well. This service is open to the public!!
