Our Lady of the Cenacle
The Mission presently worships at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church and other locations while raising funds and praying for its own church property. The prayer titled “Our Lady of the Cenacle” (for insight into the historic meaning of the “Cenacle,” see, e.g., here, here, and Acts 1:14) has been adopted by the Mission and is regularly prayed for furtherance of this intention:

Most holy Virgin of the Cenacle, Our Mother, Mary Immaculate obtain for us, we humbly pray, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, that we may live in charity and persevere with one accord in prayer, under thy guidance and teaching, to the greater glory of God, and that we may labor both by word and work for the salvation of souls and may deserve to enter into everlasting life.

Graciously be near us, O our Lady of the Cenacle, in our present needs, and succor us by they power that Almighty God may be pleased to grant us, through thy pleading, the favor for which we earnestly pray. Amen.

Mission Potlucks
Everyone is invited to fellowship and share with others at the Mission potlucks held each month in the Parish Hall at St. Thomas the Apostle. We encourage you to bring a dish, but please come even if you are unable to bring food. Food and other items may be placed in the Parish Hall before Mass. A refrigerator is available. Potlucks are held immediately after Sunday Mass on the second Sunday of each month.

Confraternity of Christian Mothers

When: The 3rd Saturday of each month, 9am – 11am.
Where: St. Thomas the Apostle, Classroom 17.
Description:  Do you desire to become more familiar with other traditional Catholic faithful, especially mothers?  Would you like to share in spiritual enrichment with the other ladies and mothers of the mission, led and directed by Father Terra? Do you desire to become a better mother and wife? Do you know of opportunities to help the mission and fellow parishioners? Do you have ideas about how to improve the parish life of our mission? Please come to the meeting for the Confraternity of Christian Mothers. All women are encouraged to come (you need not be a mother and young children are welcome). “What could be more basic to the needs of the world than to have wives and mothers made aware of their dignity and responsibility so that they may form the minds and hearts of their children in a Christian way of life? Under the special patronage of the Mother of Sorrows, the members are encouraged joyously and hopefully to undertake the important training and sanctifying of the young souls entrusted to their care. They are schooled to edify one another by word and deed, to support one another by fervent prayers and thus, become the mainstay of spiritual life within their own family, and a fruitful source of blessings to the community in which they live. This is the principle aim of all confraternities affiliated with the Archconfraternity.” from The Handbook for Members of the Confraternity of Christian Mothers.
