Respect Life

“All life has inestimable value even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.” Pope Francis

Live-Streaming Masses

We continue to livestream our weekend Masses. This is for the homebound and those unable to get to Church due to various infirmities or situations. But it is not an excuse for not coming to Church in person. Livestreaming means it is watched live. It isn’t there to be seen as a tv show while eating or doing other work. Our Church is sanitized after the Masses and cleaned regularly. Masks are worn by those who feel it necessary. So the best way to attend Mass is in person and to receive Holy Communion.

Parish Mission Statement

Our Lady of Victory is a welcoming Catholic community dedicated to the mission to Know, Love and Serve God by living the Eucharist,

Parish Registration

We always welcome new members to our Parish family. Registration is important to us so that we may serve your spiritual needs. Call the office to register in the parish. One must be registered in the parish in order to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism and Marriage or be granted letters of eligibility for sponsorship of Baptism and Confirmation.

SEASON OF LENT

  • LENTEN MASS: Daily Mass, Monday through Saturday, is offered at 8:00 A.M. An additional Mass is offered on Wednesdays at 7:00 P.M. to give you  the opportunity to receive the Eucharist, our spiritual food.
  • STATIONS OF THE CROSS: Every Friday at 7:00 P.M. you are invited to walk the journey of Calvary with the Lord. Come pray and thank the Lord for his forgiveness. Stations will be followed by Benediction.
  • CONFESSIONS: “THE LIGHT IS ON FOR YOU”
    Every Monday  during Lent,  confessions are heard from 5:30 to 7:00 P.M. This is an addition to the 4:00 P.M. on Saturdays. Take this opportunity to be reconciled with the Lord in this  Sacrament of Peace.
  • FAST & ABSTINENCE: All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence, that is we don’t eat meat on these days.  Ash Wednesday & Good Friday are also days of Fast where we only one  full meal is  eaten and two lesser meals.  It is a discipline of  Lent where  we do  without, so that we can  see what is  most important in  our lives:  Jesus, the Word of God.
