The Sign of the Cross

Msgr. Gaume

The holy Sign of the Cross is the most important prayer and symbol of our Catholic faith.

It is at once the image of Christ's passion, the sign of the redemption of all mankind, the awesome testament of the destruction of the power of the devil and of his kingdom on earth. The resurrection is the promise and seal and guarantee of eternal life which consummated the work of the Cross.

Christians rejoice and the demons tremble to see the Sign of the Cross emblazoned everywhere as proof of Christ's victory over the world. Christ said "all power is given to me in heaven and on earth" and the Cross is the seat of that power. There is no place on earth where a person who makes the Sign of the Cross is not immediately recognized as a Catholic, and there is no miracle that has not been worked under this sign. It is the "nuclear bomb" of prayers and with it the faithful can clear away all enemies and temptations with the simplest of wordless gestures.

Msgr. Gaume has compiled a magnificent collection of history and commentary from the saints and fathers and doctors, as well as his own meditations and exhortations regarding this most powerful prayer. An entire book on the Sign of the Cross might seem boring - trust me, it is absolutely fascinating. You will never make this holy sign in haste again.

Confessions are also heard after Mass on most 1st Sundays of the month.

Silence in Church & Cell phones

Out of Respect for the Blessed Sacrament, Silence is Observed in the Church. PLEASE SILENCE ALL DEVICES

Proper Dress

 According to the Apostolic custom and Church Law,  women and girls are requested to have their heads covered.

 Out of respect for Our Lord and for mutual edification, men and women should dress modestly. Slacks, shorts, sleeveless dresses, and low cut dresses do not meet the norm of Christian modesty. Dress which is too casual is inappropriate. This matter is evidence of your love for our God in the Blessed Sacrament.

Seating in the Chapel

The chapel is often nearly full by 9:50 Sunday morning.

To increase you chances of sitting together, arrive early and join in saying the Most Holy Rosary.

The area next to the choir, is meant for parents and their infant and toddler children, who may need to be taken out during Mass. Adults and older children should find seating in the main chapel area.
