Welcome to Our Lady of Victory Parish

A Note from Father Mark
"As Pastor let me extend a warm welcome to you and other viewers who visit our Parish on the Net. I hope you'll find this "extension" of our Parish inviting and interesting. Please know that you are most welcome to visit us, literally, by sharing in weekend worship at our main church, Our Lady of Victory, or our beautiful Chapel, Our Lady of Hope. If I can be of service to you, personally, please don't hesitate to e-mail and I'll return a message a.s.a.p! An anonymous author has written, "There are two words used a great deal by Jesus in the Gospels. One is 'Come' and the other is 'Go'. It's no use coming unless you go, and it's no use going unless you come."
Peace, Fr. Mark Hession

Weekly Message from our Bulletin

As we approach the Solemnity of Pentecost we are reminded of the many graces that the Holy Spirit has showered upon our parish and we prepare by our novena to ask the Holy Spirit to continue to bless our parish and community. Today we will celebrate with over fifty couples who have been married in our parish or who are celebrating a significant wedding anniversary. We pray with them and for them that Almighty God will continue to bless their marriages and that they will be forever a sign of God’s love for us as revealed in the Blessed Trinity.

What is Generations of Faith?
Generations of Faith is an approach to faith formation that embraces and implements a vision of lifelong faith formation for all ages and generations, rooted in Church life. Through parish intergenerational faith festivals, the celebration of Church events, and home faith activities and rituals, we strive to nurture people's minds and hearts in the wisdom of the Catholic faith and empower them to live this faith in their daily lives...

“In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation,” according to the U.S. Catholic bishops (Faithful Citizenship, No. 13). The insights of the Scriptures and Catholic social teaching are important guides for our decisions about issues and candidates.
