Church of the Gesu

Last week, our morning Mass community gathered to celebrate the 54th ordination anniversary of Fr. Bernie Owens, SJ. Congratulations, Fr. Owens, and thank you for your many years of faithful service!

All are invited to join the Ursuline Sisters at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 28, at a special liturgy at Church of the Gesu as they bring their 175th anniversary year to a close.

This week, our Pastor, Fr. Lukas Laniauskas, SJ, is in Vilnius, Lithuania serving as an MC for the World Apostolic Congress of Mercy (WACOM). This special event brings together thousands of participants from around the world to proclaim and witness Divine Mercy, sharing His message of infinite love and hope for individuals and the world.
