The church gives us these “Holy days” throughout the year as gifts for our souls. These Holy Days offer us an opportunity to set aside the things of this world and to step away for awhile and be refreshed by the Lord.  We invite all of you to take advantage of this “Holy Day” of Obligation/opportunity.
