Fr. Perrone's homily for Sunday, February 14, 2016 - On the Devil

Visit GrottoCast to hear Fr. Perrone's homily from this past Sunday.  It was the first Sunday in Lent. The Gospel was about the temptations of Christ. Fr. Perrone spoke about that and how the devil runs interference in our spiritual lives.

Audio of Fr. Perrone's homily for Quinquagesima now available

This past Sunday it was Quinquagesima in the 1962 Missal.  Here is a link to the GrottoCast post to hear that homily online.  If you have the free SoundCloud app and follow GrottoCast, look for this homily there.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday.  Assumption Grotto distributes ashes according to the 1962 Missal, where it happens before the liturgy begins.  In the past, Fr. Perrone has done the Blessing of Ashes before beginning the 7:30 a.m. Mass and those ashes were distributed before the start of the 7:00 p.m. Mass.  In addition, there will be distribution of ashes at Noon for those who cannot make either Mass.  Noteworthy is that the choir and schola sing at the 7:00 p.m. Mass. It is choir night and they have an abbreviated rehearsal following the Liturgy.

On Thursday, following the 7:00 p.m. Mass, there will be a Rosary procession to the outdoor grotto for the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes (weather permitting).

On Friday, Fr. Perrone will begin his Lenten reflections on the psalms.  As posted earlier, the parish Fish Fry run by the Grotto K of C, runs from 4-7 pm.  From 6:45 - 7:30 p.m., Fr. Perrone will have his talk.  That is followed by Stations of the Cross in the Church, then Mass in the extraordinary form.  The talks continue every Friday, except Good Friday (but there will be a fish fry).  Please support this parish fund raiser.  A flyer is embedded here for details. 



Thanks to parishioner Beth Y. for providing this snapshot from the 9:30 a.m. Mass

Lenten Talks on the Psalms on Friday evenings by Fr. Perrone


FISH FRY FRIDAYS AND LENTEN TALKS

As can be seen in the attached flyer, Fr. Perrone will be doing a series of talks on the Psalms on Fridays during Lent.

Please note, for Lent only, the Friday evening Mass is later. The talks will begin at 6:45 and go to 7:30 PM.  At 7:30, Stations of the Cross will be prayed in the church, followed by an EF low Mass.  This allows people to eat and observe the pre-Mass fast.

FEBRUARY 11: FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES

In the evening, following the 7:00 PM Mass, there will be a Rosary procession out to the grotto in honor of Our lady of Lourdes (weather permitting).  The grotto, after which the parish gets it's name, was built in the 1800's after the pastor visited Lourdes, France.
