Reconciliation (Confession)

Reconciliation is given each Sunday beginning at 8:00 a.m., prior to Mass in a private room just off the foyer of our worship space.

Mass

Given each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. at Patriot Learning Center (PLC), 11990 Swingline Road, Falcon, CO 80831.  Here’s a map to help with directions.  Mass generally lasts about an hour, followed by hospitality in the PLC cafeteria, then Religious Education either at the classrooms at PLC or the Parish House depending on grade level.  Since we must establish our worship space each week, our “church elves” arrive about an hour before Mass for setup (and would love your help!).  Mass is digitally recorded each week and the week’s homily is generally available online by the following Tuesday in our Bulletins section.
