Behold is a new event at Annunciation! Join us tomorrow, Feb 2, from 7-9pm for a night of prayer and Eucharistic Adoration (with Praise & Worship), followed by a time of fellowship in the hall. The sacrament of Confession will be available throughout Adoration.

LENT 2023 – NEW EVENING MASS + MORE!
Lent is coming soon! In addition to offering Stations of the Cross every Lenten Friday, Annunciation will also be offering a Wednesday evening Mass each week! This mass is designed specifically for those who work or study during the day and can’t normally make it to daily Mass.
The first Mass will be held on March 1 at 7:30 pm. The church will open at 7pm for those who’d like to come pray, and will remain open until 9pm with the Blessed Sacrament exposed for adoration and confession made available.
There’s more to come for Lent 2023! Check out our parish page for ways to dive deeper into Lent, including worship playlists, fasting guidelines, the Holy Week Adventure, and our Ash Wednesday and Triduum schedules.
