There will be a mass at 1 p.m. in honor of Santo Cristo. After mass, the image of Santo Cristo will come out of the church entrance with a brief blessing of the Blessed Sacrament. There will not be a
procession.

During this weekend there will be food for sale for takeout only.

Saturday, Sept. 26 from 3 to 9 p.m.:
